Introduction Primary cardiac tumours are rare. We report the first known case of congenital cardiac haemangioma in Ireland. Case A neonate presented with symptoms arising from a congenital atrial haemangioma on day three of life. The mass was successfully excised via median sternotomy and bicaval cannulation for cardiopulmonary bypass. The patient was discharged day ten postoperatively and remained well at one year follow-up. Discussion The degree of debulking surgery required varies depending on tumour type. This report serves to aid clinicians in accurately suspecting, investigating and diagnosing patients with cardiac tumours.
