[Cardiac hemangioma of the right ventricle--report of a case].

A 74-year-old male was admitted to our hospital with a diagnosis of intra-cardiac tumor on echochardiography, CT, and MRI. The tumor was located on the free wall of the right ventricle and protruded into the outflow tract. The surgical excision of the tumor was performed under cardiopulmonary bypass. The size of the tumor was 5 x 5 x 4 cm. Histological examination disclosed cavenous hemangioma. The post opertive course was uneventful. This is the forth case reported in Japan and the fifteenth case in the world.
