Abstract

Hemangioma of the heart is a rare lesion, representing 5% to 10% of benign cardiac tumors. Hemangioma of the mitral valve has been reported previously in one autopsy case report. We describe the excision and repair of a hemangioma of the mitral valve in a 33-year-old African-American woman.
