Abstract: | Cardiac hemangiomas are rare, benign vascular tumors of the heart. Because of their clinical manifestations, diagnosis is
difficult and few surgeons can draw from extensive experience. The purpose of this study was to report an additional case
of cardiac hemangioma and to analyze the unexpected aspect of this disease. In our case, echocardiography demonstrated a mass
in the left ventricle. Surgical resection was done using cardiopulmonary bypass. Histopathological examination revealed that
the tumor was a hemangioma. The short-term outcome was favorable. |
