Right ventricular outflow tract obstruction by cardiac hemangioma in asymptomatic patient.

Ventricular hemangiomas are rare benign tumors, pose diagnostic and therapeutic complexities. We report a case of a 52-year-old female with essential hypertension who developed a systolic ejection murmur during a hypertension clinic visit. The echocardiogram revealed a hyperechoic mass obstructing the right ventricular outflow tract, causing enlargement of the right atrium and ventricle, with a reduction in the right ventricular ejection fraction. Due to the risk of death, the patient underwent an emergency surgical resection along with tricuspid valve replacement. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, and subsequent cardiac magnetic resonance imaging showed an improvement in ejection fraction without residual tumor. This case highlights the diagnosis and therapeutic complexities of ventricular hemangiomas. With this report, we aim to provide a comprehensive review of ventricular hemangiomas and to enhance understanding of this condition for improved patient care.
