Key result
Cardiac angiosarcoma mimics pericardial constriction due to tumor encasement.
Why the study?
Cardiac angiosarcoma is an exceptionally rare primary malignant tumour that is difficult to diagnose and typically carries a poor prognosis, presenting rarely with constrictive physiology due to tumour encasement.

Broad differential including rare tumors is warranted in constrictive physiology; leaves open evidence-based diagnostic algorithms.
Case Report (n=1)
Cardiac angiosarcoma is an extremely rare diagnosis that can present with typical findings of constrictive physiology, emphasizing the need for a broad differential diagnosis.
Vohra et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Cardiac angiosarcoma (n=1). Cardiac angiosarcoma was evaluated. A 65-year-old female with cardiac angiosarcoma presented with constrictive physiology due to tumour encasement, highlighting a rare mimicker of pericardial constriction.
