- Diagnostico de uma massa cardiaca- a proposito de um casoPublication . Galrinho, A; Ferreira, D; Loureiro, J; Terras, F; Silva, S; Ferreira, RThe authors describe a case of a recidivant pericardial effusion associated to a mass with an unusual, filamentous aspect that involved the upper part of right atrium and surrounded the upper vena cava. Despite the diagnostic techniques employed--transesophageal echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging, the etiologic diagnosis could not be done, so a biopsy of the mass was made by percutaneous approach using transesophageal echocardiography to control the procedure. The histopathological result was an angiosarcoma of the right atrium. The authors make a brief review of the literature about this rare condition.
