Abstract
An 8-year-old girl underwent surgical excision of a tumor arising from the right atrium immediately after admission. Because histologic and immunohistochemical examination confirmed the diagnosis of angiosarcoma, adjunctive multidisciplinary therapy was administered for the following 2 years. She is leading a normal school life 53 months after the operation. Therapeutic strategy for this highly malignant cardiac tumor is discussed.
