A male patient in his 30s presented to the emergency room with a 1-week history of dyspnoea that progressed to haemoptysis, having coughed up approximately 200mL of blood on two occasions. On diagnostic investigation, a mediastinal tumour infiltrating the free wall of the right atrium and multiple pulmonary nodules were discovered. The first suspicion was a neoplasm of pulmonary origin, and a bronchoscopy was performed, histology reported a probable cardiac origin for the neoplasm. A subsequent biopsy confirmed the presence of a primary cardiac angiosarcoma. An extension CT scan revealed brain metastases. The patient received chemotherapy treatment, resulting in a partial response to date. This case is one of the few reported instances of cardiac neoplasm presenting with respiratory symptoms.
