Abstract
Cardiac haemangiomas are rare forms of cardiac tumours which can present at any age and in any cardiac location. The clinical presentations of patients vary and preoperative diagnosis of cardiac haemangiomas is usually made using echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Surgical resection is the treatment of choice and follow-up is recommended to avoid any recurrence. We report a particular case of cardiac haemangiomas which was referred to us and eventually managed conservatively. The medical history, physical examination and surgical/non-surgical management are discussed.Entities:
