We present a case of primary cardiac angiosarcoma arising from the interatrial septum that had imaging features overlapping with those of right atrial myxoma. The mass was initially discovered on a thoracic CT study. Further evaluation with echocardiography was limited by poor acoustic windows and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging was performed prior to surgical resection. CMR provided a detailed morphological assessment; imaging features included a frond-like surface architecture, a narrow attachment point at the interatrial septum, mild signal hyperintensity compared with that of myocardium on T(1) weighted sequences, patchy foci of delayed gadolinium enhancement and a haemorrhagic pericardial effusion. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of angiosarcoma arising from the interatrial septum that has undergone evaluation with CMR. |
