A 49-year-old woman, whose ecocardiography and hemodynamic study showed mass in the left atrium, which suggests myxoma, was refered for cardiological evaluation because of dyspnea. She also had schitossomotic hepatosplenomegaly. After preoperative evaluation with hematological assistance, the patient underwent surgery with Cardiopulmonary bypass. She had increased hemorrhage in the immediate post-operative, with an improvement after platelet transfusion. The histopathologic study showed cardiac hemangioma, cappilary type.Descriptors: Heart neoplasms, surgery. Heart atria, pathology. Hemangioma, diagnosis.
