CARDIAC HEMANGIOMA: A CASE REPORT
Main Article Content
Abstract
Cardiac haemangioma (CH) is an extremely rare type of benign heart tumor, with prevalence only 2.8% of all primary cardiac tumors. The symptoms of tumor are often presented in a patient with dyspnea, chest pain, and persistent dry cough. Diagnosis can be made by echocardiography, computed tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging. Radical surgical resection is indicated in symptomatic patients. Case report: We report on a case of an incidentally found tumor located on the right-sided epicardium that was successfully removed with the totally endoscopic surgery. Conclusion: The pathological diagnosis was primary cardiac cavernous haemangioma. In this case, the haemangioma was successfully resected with the totally endoscopic surgery. No recurrence was detected on follow up.
