Pediatric Metastatic Cardiac Angiosarcoma Successfully Treated With Multimodal Therapy: Case Report and Review of Literature

Cardiac angiosarcoma (AS) is an extremely rare, malignant vascular tumor with <10 cases reported in the pediatric literature. Prognosis is dismal with overall survival often <1 year from initial diagnosis. In this report, we present the case of a 10-year-old boy with metastatic cardiac AS who is currently alive and is the longest pediatric survivor of metastatic cardiac AS reported in the literature. This is the only published pediatric case to successfully use a combination of surgical resection, conventional chemotherapy, radiation and targeted therapies including bevacizumab and pazopanib for metastatic cardiac AS.
