抄録

A 51-year-old man with a primary angiosarcoma of the right atrium is reported. The angiosarcoma was not detected by transthoracic echocardiography or computed tomography, but magnetic resonance imaging and transesophageal echocardiography did show the tumor of the right atrial free wall. We performed a transvenous endomyocardial biopsy of the tumor under the guidance of transesophageal echocardiography and made the pathological diagnosis. This case demonstrates the advantage of magnetic resonance imaging and transesophageal echocardiography for tumor detection over transthoracic echocardiography and computed tomography and the usefulness of transesophageal echocardiography for guiding the right atrial endomyocardial biopsy procedure.<br>(Internal Medicine 40: 391-395, 2001)
