Cardiac sarcoma, or angiosarcoma, is an extremely rare
malignant form of
heartcancer. 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.
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

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.

"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. --

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. --
