| description | Abstract Background Cardiac haemangiomas are exceptionally rare. They are usually solitary growths. Cardiac haemangiomas can be classified as capillary, cavernous, or arteriovenous in nature. They can occur in any chambers of the heart, but are predominantly found at the intramural or endocardial layers. Case presentation This is a rare case of a cardiac haemangioma located on the epicardium of a 52-year-old male patient. The patient complained of 1-year duration of chest tightness and shortness of breath. The haemangioma was removed successfully. For symptomatic lesions, surgical removal remains the preferred treatment. Conclusion The pathological diagnosis was primary cardiac cavernous haemangioma. In this case, the haemangioma was successfully resected with invasive surgery. No recurrence was detected on follow up. |
