Cardiac haemangioma associated with a duct-dependent congenital heart disease in a newborn infant

Cardiol Young. 2017 Jul;27(5):990-992. doi: 10.1017/S1047951116002699. Epub 2017 Jan 12.

Abstract

Cardiac haemangiomas are exceedingly rare; however, they can cause significant haemodynamic impairment and disturbances in heart rhythm. Rarely, cardiac tumours may also coexist with congenital heart lesions. We present an extremely unusual case of a cardiac haemangioma in the setting of complex transposition of the great arteries that caused functional tricuspid atresia. To our knowledge, this is the first such case described in the literature.

Keywords: Cardiac tumour; congenital haemangioma; pulmonary atresia; transposition of the great arteries; tricuspid atresia.
