Abstract

A cardiac hemangioma is a rare form of primary cardiac tumor. To our knowledge, only 34 cases of cardiac hemangioma have been discussed in the literature at the time of this writing. We report the case of a patient who presented with 1 episode of exertional dyspnea. The medical history, physical exam, work-up, surgical approach, and outcome are discussed. Other published reports on this topic are also reviewed.
