A rare case of right atrial angiosarcoma is described in a 55-year-old man who was admitted with acute chest pain. Electrocardiography, cardiac enzymes, and chest radiography were negative. His pain settled and he was discharged, but readmitted 15 days later with clinical features of cardiac tamponade. Computed tomography demonstrated a large pericardial effusion. Emergency surgery was performed to excise a right atrial tumor, which histology confirmed to be an angiosarcoma.
