Abstract

Cardiac hemangiomas in the left ventricle are extremely rare. A 34-year-old woman, without symptoms, with a diagnosis of cardiac tumor at the apex of the left ventricle was referred to us. The tumor was surgically resected, and the diagnosis was hemangioma. The Jatene technique, originally introduced for left ventricular aneurysmectomy was excellent for repair after resection of a cardiac tumor at the apex.
