Primary cardiac tumors are very rare diseases, wherein the most frequent primary malignant cardiac tumor is angiosarcoma. Despite the advances in diagnostics and therapy, prognosis of primary cardiac angiosarcoma is still poor. Timely diagnosis is a key requirement for the patients’ survival. Multimodality imaging could contribute to brief differential diagnosis of cardiac masses. Our paper presents a fatal case of cardiac angiosarcoma in a young man with special focus to multimodality imaging possibilities, including, next to echocardiography, also MRI and PET–CT. Review of literature describes a clinical characteristics of the cardiac angiosarcoma and also diagnostics and therapeutics modalities.
