Abstract
-
Cardiac hemangioma is an extremely rare benign tumor. A 65 years old woman was admitted due to epigastric and chest pain. After we confirmed cardiac tamponade with right atrial mass by chest CT, we performed surgical resection of the mass and identified hemangioma with capillary endothelial hyperplasia on pathologic examination. Therefore, we report the case with literature review.
