Cardiac Angiosarcomas Detected by FDG PET/CT Scan

Conclusions: Cardiac angiosarcoma had high FDG uptake, which may be due to its poor differentiation and biological behaviors of the tumor cells. The FDG PET/CT scan can detect the primary tumor extension, metastases at diagnosis, postsur­gical residue and/or relapse and metastases. But successful diagnosis in this rare case relied on the comprehensive utilization of multimodality imaging techniques.
