Abstract
Cardiac hemangiomas are rare cardiac tumors with fewer than 50 surgically treated cases reported in the literature. Incidence of valvular hemangiomas is extremely low, as cardiac valves are predominantly avascular structures. In this case report, we describe a 33-year-old woman who presented with pr

©Benign primary cardiac neoplasms are rare but may cause significant morbidity and mortality. However, they are usually treatable and can often be diagnosed with echocardiography, computed tomography (CT), or magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Myxomas typically arise from the interatrial septum from a narrow base of attachment. Fibroelastomas are easily detected at echocardiography as small, mobile masses attached to valves by a short pedicle. Cardiac fibromas manifest as a large, noncontractile, ...

A cardiac hemangioma is a rare form of primary cardiac tumor. To our knowledge, only 34 cases of cardiac hemangioma have been discussed in the literature at the time of this writing. We report the case of a patient who presented with 1 episode of exertional dyspnea. The medical history, physical exam, work-up, surgical approach, and outcome are discussed. Other published reports on this topic are also reviewed.

Abstract Primary tumors of the heart are rare. Based upon the data of 22 large autopsy series, the frequency of primary cardiac tumors is approximately 0.02% — corresponding to 200 tumors in 1 million autopsies (Table I). 1 .

Cavernous hemangiomas of the heart are rare, benign tumors with an unknown natural history. Most are discrete masses, smaller than 3.5 cm in diameter, and are clinically silent.1 In this report we observed, by echocardiography and computer-assisted tomography, spontaneous regression over a 2-year period of cavernous hemangioma diagnosed by surgical exploration.

The incidence of heart valve hemangioma is very low and is mostly observed in the mitral and tricuspid valve. In 2006, two cases of aortic valve hemangioma were reported for the first time, including one with calcifying aortic valve stenosis. We now present a case of aortic valve hemangioma in a patient suffering from aortic valve insufficiency combined with atherosclerotic thickening.

Abstract Valvular hemangioma incidence is extremely low. In this report, we describe a 62-year-old man who presented with mild edema of the lower limbs. An echocardiogram revealed an incidental 1.3-cm diameter mass on the anterior mitral valve leaflet for which he underwent surgical resection and mitral valve replacement. Histopathological examination showed a lymphocyte-rich capillary–cavernous hemangioma. The exuberant lymphoid stroma is unusual for hemangioma and represents an undescribed pat...

Cardiac hemangioma is a rare clinical entity. An increasing number of cases have been reported in recent years. Most of them were found incidentally at autopsy or during clinical practice, and reported as isolated cases. Our study is the most comprehensive review of cardiac hemangioma to date. The clinical demographics, clinical features, histopathologic features, treatment, and prognosis of 200 cases are reported. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the independent predictors...

A 74-year-old man underwent echocardiographic exam for hypertension screening. A fixed plurilobulated mass originating from the right ventricular lateral wall and occupying half of the cavity was incidentally diagnosed. On cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) it appeared homogeneous, intermediate-to-high signal on T1-weighted, and diffusely hyperintense on T2-weighted images. First pass enhancement was late and heterogeneous and no late gadolinium enhancement was present. Computed tomography (CT) sh...

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. Transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) demonstrated a 0.8x0.9-cm pedunculated tumor mass on the posterior leaflet of the mitral valve. Coronary angiography identified a small artery which filled from the circum...

Cardiac haemangioma is an extremely rare, benign vascular tumour. A 42-year-old female patient who was previously very active presented with complaints of exertional chest pain as well as lower extremity oedema. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a large mass in the anterior mediastinum originating from the right atrioventricular groove and abutting the superior vena cava, right atrium, right ventricular outflow tract and aortic root. Open biopsy via right mini-thoracotomy...

An optimal preoperative evaluation is fundamental to the assessment of all patients undergoing cardiac surgery. We report the case of a male patient who underwent elective coronary artery bypass surgery, and intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) revealed an unexpected left atrial cavernous hemangioma. The tumor was resected via a transatrial approach, and a definitive diagnosis was made after histological examination. This uncommon intra-atrial tumor (which accounts for approxima...
