Multi-modality imaging is needed to narrow the differential diagnosis of rare cardiac hamartomas, while surgical resection can provide the definitive diagnosis.
Multi-modality imaging and surgical resection are key to diagnosing rare cardiac hamartomas.
Case evidence supports multi-modality imaging and resection for rare cardiac hamartomas; leaves open standardized protocols pending larger cohorts.
•Cardiac hamartoma is a rare clinical entity with hypertrophied myocytes mixed with fibro-vascular and fatty tissues.•Multi-modality imaging is needed to narrow the differential diagnosis.•Surgical resection can lead to the definitive diagnosis in some cases.
