Primary cardiac tumours are rare. We report a patient with right ventricular cavernous haemangioma, in which non-invasive cardiovascular imaging including echocardiography and MRI helped in the diagnosis with a high pretest probability. The patient also had typical slow-fast atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia, which was an incidental finding and not related to the tumour.

Types of Echocardiography
Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)
TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for...
Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray
Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
