Cardiac hemangiomas are rare tumors, the presence of these neoplasms in heart valves is an exceptional finding, mainly because of their histological features. Normally, transesophageal echocardiography is used to establish a diagnosis of cardiac tumor, though careful interpretation is needed to avoid diagnostic errors. Herein is described an unusual presentation of a primary hemangioma of the mitral valve which was diagnosed as a prolapsing left atrial myxoma. The patient underwent successful surgical excision of the neoplasm, followed by mitral valve repair.
心脏血管瘤是罕见的肿瘤，这些肿瘤出现在心脏瓣膜中是一个特殊的发现，主要是由于它们的组织学特征。通常，经食管超声心动图用于诊断心脏肿瘤，不过需要仔细解读以避免诊断错误。本文描述了一例二尖瓣原发性血管瘤的不寻常表现，该病例最初被诊断为左心房黏液瘤脱垂。患者成功接受了肿瘤的手术切除，随后进行了二尖瓣修复。
