| description | Overall incidence of primary cardiac tumour ranges from 0.0017% and 0.27% at autopsy. Cardiac haemangiomas are rare, and account
for 2.8% of benign cardiac tumours. Pericardial haemangiomas, in particular are extremely rare. Pericardial haemangiomas are reported
to present with a variety of symptoms such as dyspnea, palpitation, atypical chest pain. Other symptoms like obstruction of blood
vessels, cardiac tamponade, or pericardial effusion may result due to compression of surrounding structures. Here, we report a case of
pericardial haemangioma in a patient who presented with breathlessness and cough. |
