AI Article Synopsis
- A cardiac cavernous hemangioma is a rare, benign tumor typically found in younger patients, but a case involving a 71-year-old male was reported.
- During a routine transthoracic echocardiogram, doctors found the heart tumor, which was not detected by triple-phase CT scans.
- The tumor was successfully removed via surgery, and post-operative examination confirmed it was a benign cavernous hemangioma, with the patient recovering within two weeks.
Article Abstract
A cardiac cavernous hemangioma is a rare, primary, benign tumor that is usually diagnosed in young or middle-aged patients. In this article, we report the case of a 71-year-old male patient whose doctors incidentally discovered a heart tumor on his transthoracic echocardiography. Triple-phase computed tomography (CT) (pre-contrast, arterial and portal venous) missed the lesion, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a small, oval tumor attached to the wall of the right ventricle. The tumor was successfully removed surgically, and the patient recovered after 2 weeks. A histopathological examination resulted in the diagnosis of a benign cavernous hemangioma.
