Primary Cardiac Angiosarcoma with Extensive Visceral Metastases: Utility of (18)F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography in Response Assessment to Sorafenib

Primary cardiac angiosarcomas although rare neoplasms remain the most common primary malignant neoplasms affecting the heart. We discuss the sequential positron-emission tomography–computed tomography findings of a 50-year-old man who was diagnosed with the metastatic cardiac angiosarcoma at the out...

description Primary cardiac angiosarcomas although rare neoplasms remain the most common primary malignant neoplasms affecting the heart. We discuss the sequential positron-emission tomography–computed tomography findings of a 50-year-old man who was diagnosed with the metastatic cardiac angiosarcoma at the outset and developed progressive disease despite sorafenib therapy.
