Merge from cardiac sarcoma

below is text that was there. --Una Smith 03:02, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cardiac sarcoma, or angiosarcoma, is an extremely rare malignant form of heart cancer. Although there have been very few cases, cardiac sarcoma usually spreads from the pulmonary artery or either atriums into the aorta, where it press and blocks bloodflow in the vein.

That says "angiosarcoma", not "hemangiosarcoma". The two are not the same! I have changed the Cardiac sarcoma page to redirect to Angiosarcoma instead of here. --Thnidu (talk) 19:05, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dogs only, or can humans have it as well?

I think we should put something that says whether humans can have it or not. Arbiteroftruth (talk) 23:25, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

When humans get sarcomas of vasculature, they are called angiosarcoma. It's probably the same disease, but you would not diagnose a human with hemangiosarcoma. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.35.79.70 (talk) 11:57, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have seen it on a death certificate, which means that person was diagnosed with it. It is rare in humans, but a small number develop it and are diagnosed with it. Pmz 0 (talk) 06:46, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Needs citation". "I have seen it on a death certificate" doesn't qualify for WP. All the Google search and PubMed pages I've seen for hemangiosarcoma refer to it in dogs only. There was a paragraph in the lede section about Stewart–Treves syndrome, but it misidentified it -- according to the WP page, that condition is an angiosarcoma, not a hemangiosarcoma -- and I deleted it. I have extended the lede sentence with "occurring almost exclusively in dogs and rarely in cats," which doesn't say it never happens in humans, but doesn't say that it does. --Thnidu (talk) 18:55, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe it should be stated in the article that humans get angiosarcomas then, because as it is now it has a link, but no distinction is made in that matter. -- CFCF (talk) 19:03, 16 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Still (in 2017) not clear. This article is only about non-humans/dogs. Where do we go for hemangiosarcoma in humans ? - Rod57 (talk) 10:10, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Dorland's link is dead

I'm deleting the reference on the first word and replacing it with a current one at Stanford Hospital.

"hemangiosarcoma" at Dorland's Medical Dictionary ({{DorlandsDict|four/000047724|hemangiosarcoma}})

is dead. It goes to the Internet Archive at this link, which says
