Abstract:
Cardiac hemangiomas are rare primary tumors of the heart and constitute only 2.8% of primary cardiac tumors. They are classified into capillary, cavernous, epitheloid and arteriovenous type and the last one is the most uncommon type. We experienced a case of cardiac hemangioma which was diagnosed as arteriovenous type for the first time in Korea in the literature. The patient was a 54-year-old woman who presented with palpitation and anterior chest pain. The diagnosis was based upon coronary angiography which showed two tumor blushings located in the interatrial and interventricular septum with venous drainage to the coronary sinus and right atrium. Associated atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response was controlled with digitalis.
