Abstract
Primary cardiac tumors are histologically heterogeneous and grow from the heart tissues. Their diagnosis is difficult due to the absence of pathognomonic signs, as well as the possibility of a long asymptomatic course. The authors present a case of late diagnosis of heart tumor in a young man, occurring under the guise of constrictive pericarditis with rapidly progressive heart failure, which ended in death 3 months after the first clinical symptoms. According to the autopsy, the histological picture and immunophenotype of the tumor corresponded to angiosarcoma.
