Abstract
|
|
|
|
Cardiac haemangiomas are rare primary cardiac tumours. Patient are often asymptomatic but life-threatening complications can occur owing to tumor location. We present an asymptomatic 50-year-old lady who had incidental finding of a left atrial appendage (LAA) mass on computer tomography. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging showed a T2-weighted hyperintense, hyper-vascular intraluminal LAA tumour. The signal characteristics of the cardiac tumor followed that of hepatic haemangiomas, which were inadvertently included in the same image plane, suggesting the diagnosis of cardiac haemangioma.
