MR features in one patients with right atrial angiosarcoma is presented and the literature briefly reviewed. Angiosarcoma demonstrated slightly heterogeneous intermediate signal intensity on T1-weighted images, high signal intensity on T2-weighted images and higher signal intensity on Gd-DTPA enhanced images.
