Malignant primary cardiac valve tumors are extremely rare neoplasms usually remaining silent up to late advanced stages. Getting to know the various features of this latent tumor, which needs prompt intervention, can assist in the earlier diagnosis. Herein we report a 24-year-old woman with angiosarcoma that originated from the mitral valve and manifested itself through dyspnea and pulmonary edema. The case is noteworthy with respect to appealing echocardiographic images.
