Abstract

We present a rare case of a pericardial hemangioma taking origin from the posterior wall of the left atrium and compressing the surrounding structures. Contrast cardiac magnetic resonance imaging preoperatively established the diagnosis, and computed tomographic findings helped in the management of this patient.
