Multimodality imaging in preparation for resection of a right atrial cavernous hemangioma

Echocardiography. 2020 Mar;37(3):465-466. doi: 10.1111/echo.14615. Epub 2020 Feb 20.

Abstract

A cardiac cavernous hemangioma is an extremely rare primary benign cardiac tumor. Herein, we report a case of cavernous hemangioma in the right atrium and close to the coronary sinus of an asymptomatic 56-year-old male who underwent multimodality imaging and successful resection of the cavernous hemangioma. Our case highlights that multimodality imaging plays an important role in characterizing cardiac hemangiomas and determining the surgical plan.

Keywords: echocardiography; hemangioma; magnetic resonance imaging.
