A case of left atrial hemangioma with papillary endothelial hyperplasia in a 42-year-old man is reported. With the aid of cardiopulmonary bypass, the tumor was resected, and the patient is well 22 months after operation. The clinical symptoms at initial examination, operative procedure, and pathological findings are reported, and the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to cardiac tumors are described briefly. A review of surgically treated hemangiomas is also given.

Article Synopsis
  • Targetoid hemosiderotic hemangioma (THH) is a rare vascular lesion that mainly affects adults, usually developing after trauma, with no significant gender preference.
  • The review analyzes THH's characteristics, differentiating it from similar conditions like Kaposi's sarcoma and retiform hemangioendothelioma.
  • Clinically, THH appears as painless lesions with a distinctive target-like look; histologically, it shows specific vascular features and can be identified with immunohistochemical markers.

Masson's tumor is a benign intravascular lesion of proliferating endothelial cells that accounts for 2% of vascular and subcutaneous lesions. It manifests clinically as a bluish swelling, resembling a mucocele or hemangioma. Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH) was coined by Clearkin and Enzinger in 1976 to describe reactive vascular expansion, following traumatic vascular stasis mimicking angiosarcoma.

Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH), or Masson's tumor, is a benign vascular mass that is often misdiagnosed due to its nonspecific clinical signs. The majority of IPEH cases involve blood vessel thrombosis. Although it is a rare tumor, IPEH requires an accurate diagnosis to avoid unnecessary treatment.
