Abstract

We present a case of a very rare heart tumor, a primary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma with secondary pulmonary metastases. Despite of the expanded diagnostic possibilities of current radiological diagnosis procedures, the final diagnosis in such patients is made only after histological examination and immunohistochemistry.
