Abstract

A 36-year-old male with unspecific symptoms and normal physical examination had right cardiac enlargement on chest X-ray. Two-dimensional echocardiographic and thoracic computed tomography demonstrated an intracardiac mass. The tumor was surgically resected and the pathological diagnosis was mixed-type epicardial hemangioma. We discuss this case and review the literature.
