Abstract:
Cardiac haemangiomas are rare benign primitive tumors. We are reporting the case of a 67-year-old woman presenting with a haemangioma of the right atrium. This tumor was discovered by echocardiography because of cerebral strokes. The magnetic resonance imaging determined the characteristics of the tumor. It was completely resected through a right atrial approach. This was a round mobile mass, pediculed and implanted at the inferior area of the interatrial septum. The histopathological analysis revealed a cavernous haemangioma.

Overview of Systemic Veins
The coronary sinus, the heart's principal vein, resides in the coronary sulcus on the heart's posterior aspect. This broad venous channel receives nearly all venous blood from the myocardium, the heart muscle. It is fed by three primary veins: the great cardiac vein, the middle...
