Key result
A patient with a history of right atrium mixed-thrombus surgery subsequently developed an exceptionally rare primary cardiac hemangioma.
Why the study?
Primary cardiac neoplasms and cardiac hemangiomas are rare, and the occurrence of a mixed thrombus followed by a primary cardiac hemangioma represents an exceptionally rare clinical presentation.
This case highlights the exceptionally rare occurrence of a primary cardiac hemangioma developing after surgery for a mixed thrombus in the right atrium.
May prompt hemangioma consideration in new atrial masses after thrombus surgery; leaves open any causal link to prior intervention.
Primary cardiac neoplasms are rare, cardiac hemangiomas are even rarer, and a mixed thrombus followed by a primary cardiac hemangioma is exceptionally rare epidemiology. Here, we report the case of a man with a right atrium mixed-thrombus surgical history who went on to develop a cardiac hemangioma.
