Ann Thorac Surg. 2000 Sep;70(3):977-9. doi: 10.1016/s0003-4975(00)01666-0.

Abstract

Cardiac hemangiomas are exceptionally rare tumors with an incidence of 1% to 2% of all detected benign heart neoplasms. The clinical appearance of the tumor varies considerably and may mimic other pathological findings of definite heart structures. We report two cases of cardiac hemangiomas presenting with an unusual location and clinical course.
