Abstract

Cardiac hemangiomas are quite rare. They present with vascular lesions that are usually benign and detectable by echocardiography, computerized tomography scan, and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. We present a rare case of hemangioma in the right atrium. A 48-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with sinus bradycardia and syncope. After workup, the final diagnosis was cardiac mass. According to pathology findings, hemangioma was diagnosed. (Iranian Heart Journal 2022; 23(4): 120-124)
