A facial port-wine stain may serve as a cutaneous marker for a cardiac haemangioma in patients presenting with recurrent atrial tachycardia.
Facial port-wine stain may flag cardiac haemangioma in recurrent atrial tachycardia; single case leaves association hypothesis-generating without practice change.
We report an unusual case of a 44-year-old lady with a facial port-wine stain and a life-long history of atrial tachycardia who was found to have a large haemangioma lying posterior to the heart supplied by both the right and left coronary arteries. The facial port-wine stain was felt to be a cutaneous marker of the cardiac neoplasm.
