“…There are fewer than two dozen cases of cardiac lymphangiomata in the literature, the majority occurring in patients under ten years of age. 2 Given the low likelihood of spontaneous resolution and high recurrence rates, complete surgical resection is recommended in symptomatic patients. 3 A single case of a cardiac lymphohemangioma has been reported.…”

We describe a 21-year old woman who presented with chest pain and dyspnea on exertion, who was found to have a large pericardial mass. Multimodality imaging was instrumental in narrowing the differential diagnosis and planning surgical treatment, which included coronary artery bypass and right heart reconstruction. The final pathologic diagnosis was lymphohemangioma – the largest ever to be reported in the literature.

“…The symptoms of cardiac lymphangioma appear only when the tumor size becomes large enough. Among the 14 cases, arrhythmia was observed in 4 cases, [7,8,12,19] chest tightness and dyspnea in 4 cases, [14,15,18] chest pain in 2 cases, [17] and heart failure in 1 case [16] ; 2 cases were asymptomatic. [10,13] Results of laboratory examinations are generally normal.…”

Rationale:Cardiac lymphangioma is a rare disease. Until now, there have been only a few cases of cardiac lymphangioma reported in the literature.Patient concerns:We report the case of a 57-year-old female patient with cardiac lymphangioma from atrial septum.Diagnosis:Color Doppler echocardiography was performed, which revealed a tumor occupying a large amount of space in the left and right atrium.Interventions:The patient underwent thoracoscopic cardiac tumor resection under general anesthesia according to the procedure used for benign tumors.Outcomes:The patient recovered completely and was discharged home. Follow-up color Doppler echocardiography scans obtained from 6 months to 2 years after the operation showed no recurrent mass.Lessons:Once the tumor is detected, surgical treatment should be implemented as soon as possible.

“…These tumors consist of a benign slow-flow vascular malformation containing lymphatic elements, forming a mass [ 2 ]. The head and neck are the most frequent locations for this tumors and they are more frequently observed during childhood.…”
