Abstract
Angiosarcoma is the most common primary malignant neoplasm of the hear t. The incidence of metastatic disease is 66% to 89%; however, initial presentation with metastatic disease is rare. We report the case of a patient who presented initially with soft tissue and cutaneous metast ases in the absence of cardiac symptoms.
