Abstract
In Indian settings pulmonary tuberculosis remains the most common diagnosis in a patient presenting with constitutional symptoms, hemoptysis and lung opacities. We describe a case report of a fifty-year-old woman who was receiving empirical anti-tubercular drugs for a metastatic illness to lungs arising from a primary angiosarcoma in the right atrium. This rare entity was misdiagnosed and typical echocardiographic findings suggested this diagnosis.
