Intraventricular cardiac hemangiomas are very rare tumors that account for 5-10% of all cardiac tumors. We report a case of an asymptomatic 21-year-old young male who was incidentally detected with ventricular mass on echocardiography followed by magnetic resonance imaging. Surgical resection was done for confirmation and to avoid potential complications. Histopathology and immunohistochemical studies confirmed the diagnosis of a hemangioma of the ventricle. Subsequent regular follow-up has revealed no complications or recurrence, underscoring the favorable long-term prognosis. This case report highlights the importance of diagnostic evaluation even in asymptomatic individuals, allowing for early recognition and effective management of this rare cardiac entity.
