Intramuscular cardiac hemangiomas are extremely rare. We describe a 74-year-old man with a tumor occupying the apex of the right ventricle that was incidentally diagnosed by echocardiography. Computed tomography and coronary angiography showed that the tumor arose from the ventricular septum and that the feeding artery was a branch of the right coronary artery. The tumor was completely excised, and the postoperative course was uneventful. Histological examination revealed that the tumor was a cardiac hemangioma (intramuscular type). To our knowledge, this is only the second case report of an intramuscular cardiac hemangioma in the world literature.

The incidence of cardiac masses increased as echocardiography is becoming increasingly popular. Benign tumors of the heart constitute about 72% of all primary cardiac neoplasms and hemangioma accounts for 5-10% of benign cardiac tumors. Cardiac hemangiomas are generally asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally during echocardiography or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We reported a 52-year-old woman presented with atypical chest pain and exertional dyspnea. The echocardiographic examination revealed a hyperechoic round mass in the left ventricle. With an initial diagnosis of left ventricular thrombus, the patient underwent cardiac MRI. The mass was found compatible with cardiac hemangioma. It was removed surgically and histopathologic evaluation identified a cardiac hemangioma. As reports of cardiac hemangioma are extremely rare and cardiac masses are mostly thought to be thrombi or myxomas (being the most common primary cardiac tumor), such hemangioma cases warrant attention as possibility of hemangioma should also be kept in mind.

Background: Hemangioma of the heart, presenting as a primary cardiac tumor is extremely rare. Methods: We present a 20-year-old male with a cardiac tumor which was incidentally discovered during routine clinical examination. Results: Echocardiography showed a large intramyocardial mass attached to the left ventricle, close to the apex. A tumor was shown near the apex of the left ventricle by Cardiac CT. We performed a total resection surgery of the tumor one week after admission and the patient recovered well and discharged from hospital 7 d after surgery. Conclusion: The pathological diagnosis was primary cardiac capillary hemangioma. No tumor recurrence was shown by echocardiography after 20 months follow-up visits.
