Key result
A patient with a previous hepatic hemangioma was found to have a large coexistent cardiac hemangioma presenting with cardiac compressive symptoms.
Why the study?
Cardiac hemangiomas are rare benign primary cardiac tumors that typically occur as isolated lesions and present with atypical clinical symptoms.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights the rare occurrence of concomitant cardiac and hepatic hemangiomas, which can present with cardiac compressive symptoms.
May prompt cardiac imaging in symptomatic patients with known hepatic hemangioma; leaves open whether multifocal lesions share etiology.
Primary tumors of the heart are rare with a reported incidence of about 0.002% to 0.3% at autopsy. A cardiac hemangioma is a form of benign primary cardiac tumor that often presents with atypical clinical symptoms. Hemangiomas are generally isolated lesions. Here, we report a patient with previous hepatic hemangioma who later was found to have a large coexistent cardiac hemangioma presenting with cardiac compressive symptoms.
