    Author: Nakamura E, Nakamura K, Furukawa K, Ishii H, Kawagoe K, Ideguchi T, Oguri N.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 2019 Feb 20; 25(1):60-63. PubMed ID: 29459567.
    Abstract:
    Cardiac tumors are relatively rare, with primary hemangiomas being a particularly rare benign neoplasm. Herein, we report a case of a symptomatic cardiac tumor detected via echocardiography in an 82-year-old woman. Although we performed advanced imaging examinations for her heart, we could not diagnose the tumor before surgery. Eventually, a tumor involving the left atrial roof was detected, and it was completely resected to relieve her symptoms and establish a precise diagnosis. Histopathological examination indicated a cardiac cavernous hemangioma. The patient exhibited an uneventful recovery without any complications.
