Cardiac angiosarcoma revealed by lung metastases.

Cardiac angiosarcoma is a rare tumour with very poor prognosis especially in patients with metastatic disease. We present the case of a 43 year old patient with angiosarcoma revealed by open lung biopsy for multiple pulmonary metastases. Cardiac symptoms were limited to a moderate pericarditis and no echocardiographic sign of heart tumour was observed. The clinical outcome was rapidly fatal despite chemotherapy. The cardiac primary tumour was diagnosed at autopsy. We emphasize the difficulties of diagnosing cardiac angiosarcoma and confirm the limited value of echocardiography for this diagnosis.

[Current indications for thoracic imaging].

The authors present all the chest imaging techniques that are currently available to pneumologists and detail their indications and advantages. They suggest that in each major chest disease clinicians should use the technique that is most useful to the diagnosis and least costly, thereby avoiding overlaps of expensive techniques.

[Diagnostic pitfalls, artefacts and difficulties of thoracic radiography].

The antero-posterior X-ray film of the chest is still a basic examination in everyday clinical practice. It supplies multiple data but reading of the image is difficult and requires much accuracy and method. In this review paper we examine all the artefacts, pitfalls and diagnostic problems we have encountered in many years of experience, irrespective of their cause (technical, iatrogenic) or origin (parietal, intrathoracic, pleural, vascular, gastrointestinal, mediastinal, pulmonary). We consider that all pneumologists should have in mind these problems when faced with doubtful or abnormal radiographs of the chest.
