Cardiac hemangioma is a benign and rare primary tumor of the heart. Though it has benign histopathological features, its complications can be life-threatening. We report a young adult male without any prior structural heart disease or medical history who presented with ventricular tachyarrhythmia. Echocardiography revealed an echogenic mass located intramurally in the left lateral ventricle and its distinctive characteristics were revealed with further imaging modalities. Though simple complete removal of the mass is the preferred treatment, its firm texture and thinned encircling myocardium prevented the total excision. In this case report, we discussed cardiac hemangioma, its potential complications and treatment options.

Infantile haemangiomas are a common presentation in infants within the first few months of life. The majority of haemangiomas are benign; however, large haemangiomas (≥5 cm), especially those involving the face, may indicate a more serious underlying neurocutaneous disorder known as PHACE (Posterior fossa malformations, Haemangioma, Arterial anomalies, Coarctation of the aorta/Cardiac defects and Eye abnormalities) syndrome. The authors report an unusual case of possible PHACE syndrome in a young male toddler with a large facial haemangioma.

Metastatic disease is a relative contraindication for resection of malignant cardiac tumors. However, certain situations may present themselves when primary cardiac resection may be warranted. We present a 21-year-old male diagnosed with metastatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma with right ventricular outflow tract involvement for whom surgical resection was successfully performed and discuss strategies.

Fetal and neonatal cardiac tumors are rare and often benign. Clinical presentation is primarily related to mass effect, pericardial effusion or arrhythmia. Prenatal detection can assist with risk assessment and inform optimal delivery plan and postnatal management.
