Key result
Surgical resection of a right ventricular cardiac haemangioma in a 50-year-old woman resulted in an uneventful postoperative course.
Case Report (n=1)
Surgical resection with right ventricular reconstruction is a viable treatment for extensive right ventricular cardiac haemangiomas.
Surgical resection of incidental RV haemangioma appears feasible; leaves open evidence-based guidelines for this rare entity.
A right ventricular cardiac tumour was incidentally detected in a 50-year-old woman during medical check-up. Transthoracic echocardiography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed that the right ventricular tumour was widely attached to the free wall of the right ventricle and extended to the right ventricular outflow tract. The tumour was excised surgically, and the postoperative course was uneventful. Histological examination revealed that the tumour was a cardiac haemangioma.
