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.
