Insights
A rare cardiac capillary hemangioma was found in a young male. Surgical resection was successful, with no recurrence noted after 20 months of follow-up.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Oncology
Background:
- Primary cardiac tumors are exceedingly rare.
- Cardiac hemangiomas represent a specific, uncommon subtype of these tumors.
Observation:
- A 20-year-old male presented with an incidentally discovered cardiac tumor.
- Echocardiography and Cardiac CT revealed a large intramyocardial mass near the left ventricle apex.
Findings:
- The resected tumor was pathologically diagnosed as a primary cardiac capillary hemangioma.
- Complete surgical resection was achieved.
- The patient experienced a good recovery and was discharged 7 days post-surgery.
Implications:
- This case highlights the importance of considering rare diagnoses in cardiac masses.
- Successful surgical management of cardiac hemangiomas is feasible.
- Long-term surveillance is crucial to monitor for recurrence.
Background:
Hemangioma of the heart, presenting as a primary cardiac tumor is extremely rare.
Methods:
We present a 20-year-old male with a cardiac tumor which was incidentally discovered during routine clinical examination.
Results:
Echocardiography showed a large intramyocardial mass attached to the left ventricle, close to the apex. A tumor was shown near the apex of the left ventricle by Cardiac CT. We performed a total resection surgery of the tumor one week after admission and the patient recovered well and discharged from hospital 7 d after surgery.
Conclusion:
The pathological diagnosis was primary cardiac capillary hemangioma. No tumor recurrence was shown by echocardiography after 20 months follow-up visits.
