Abstract

Abstract Cardiac hemangiomas are very rare benign cardiac tumors. They can present at any age and clinical presentation varies according to location and size. In our patient the tumor was located in the left atrium. Left atrial hemangiomas, especially those attached to the left atrium wall, may be mistakenly diagnosed as myxomas. Therefore, we report a rare case of a cardiac hemangioma diagnosed clinically as cardiac myxoma. The tumor was removed surgically for further microscopic examination.
