An Exceptional Cause of Progressive Dyspnoea in a Renal Transplant Recipient: Hemangioma of the Mitral Valve

Primary cardiac hemangioma is a very rare benign vascular tumor, with valvular hemangiomas being even less frequent as valves are generally avascular structures. We present the first case of mitral valve hemangioma in a renal transplant recipient. Patient presented with progressive dyspnea.
