A Giant Cardiac Hemangioma Encroaching on the Right Coronary Artery.

Abstract

The cardiac hemangioma is a relatively rare cardiac tumor. It can occur in different locations in the heart. We describe a patient with a giant cardiac hemangioma encroaching on the right coronary artery who underwent a successful surgical resection. Complete resection of the tumor was achieved without damaging the function of the right coronary artery. Nonetheless, meticulous follow-up is required as recurrence is possible.
