    Author: Muzzi L, Davoli G, Specchia L, Chiavarelli M.
    Journal: J Heart Valve Dis; 2007 Mar; 16(2):209-11. PubMed ID: 17484474.
    Abstract:
    Cardiac hemangiomas are rare tumors, the presence of these neoplasms in heart valves is an exceptional finding, mainly because of their histological features. Normally, transesophageal echocardiography is used to establish a diagnosis of cardiac tumor, though careful interpretation is needed to avoid diagnostic errors. Herein is described an unusual presentation of a primary hemangioma of the mitral valve which was diagnosed as a prolapsing left atrial myxoma. The patient underwent successful surgical excision of the neoplasm, followed by mitral valve repair.
