ABSTRACT:
Angiosarcoma of the
heart is a rare tumor with very poor prognosis especially in a patient with
multiple metastases. We present a case of a 39-year-old woman with
angiosarcoma of the heart metastasing to the right side of the mandible, a
situation not often found previously in the literature.
