Abstract
Cardiac cavernous hemangiomas are rare primary tumors of the heart.
Echocardiography can determine their size, morphology, location, and
mobility, and the compression caused by them. We here present a case of
a 41-year-old woman with atypical chest discomfort of 2 months duration
and display her echocardiographic images. Final postoperative
histopathological examination of the surgical specimen confirmed
cavernous hemangioma of the right ventricle. In this rare case, we have
described the echocardiographic features of a cavernous hemangioma
involving the right ventricle.
