Abstract

Cardiac hamartoma is a rare benign tumor of the heart, and the vascular type is an extremely rare histologic diagnosis. A small number of cases have previously been described in childhood. We report the case of a 63-year-old woman with an incidentally detected cardiac mass that was finally diagnosed as vascular hamartoma. Approval for publication was obtained from the patient.
