Results of a trans-jugular core biopsy confirmed CD34 and ERG-positive spindle cell angiosarcoma of the heart. The highly vascular mass was supplied from the right coronary artery and had already compressed the supplying vessel. Due to widespread metastasis, a curative treatment was not possible but de bulking surgery was performed. The free wall of the right atrium was reconstructed after an extensive resection, and the distal right coronary was grafted.

The patient underwent doxorubicin palliative chemotherapy and radiotherapy for pelvic metastases. Despite all therapeutic efforts, the patient passed away 4 months after the initial diagnosis.
