A cardiac hemangioma is a rare primary benign intracardiac tumor characterized by proliferation of endothelial cells. The lesions are hyperintense on T2/short tau inversion recovery magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and show avid enhancement and retention of contrast agents. Here we present a case of a histopathologically proven cardiac hemangioma showing uptake on Dodecanetetraacetic acid - octreotate (DOTATATE), masquerading as paraganglioma in MRI and positron emission tomography imaging.
心脏血管瘤是一种罕见的原发性心脏良性肿瘤,其特征为内皮细胞增殖。在T2加权/短tau反转恢复磁共振成像(MRI)上,这些病变呈高信号,并且显示出对比剂的快速强化和滞留。在此,我们报告一例经组织病理学证实的心脏血管瘤病例,该病例在十二烷四乙酸 - 奥曲肽(DOTATATE)显像中显示摄取,在MRI和正电子发射断层显像中伪装成副神经节瘤。
