Hemangiomas are rare benign neoplasms of the heart generally diagnosed in young or middle-aged patients. We report a case of asymptomatic 71-year-old-woman in whom the tumor was detected after an echocardiogram. Echocardiography directs the diagnosis toward a cardiac mass but some aspects can suggest the hemangioma; MRI and coronary arteriography establishes the diagnosis showing the typical tumor blush.
血管瘤是心脏罕见的良性肿瘤，通常在年轻或中年患者中被诊断出来。我们报告一例71岁无症状女性病例，该肿瘤在超声心动图检查后被发现。超声心动图可将诊断指向心脏肿物，但某些方面可提示血管瘤；磁共振成像（MRI）和冠状动脉造影可确立诊断，显示典型的肿瘤造影剂充盈。
