Issue Date: | 2008 | Journal: | Texas Heart Institute Journal | Abstract: | We present the case of a 76-year-old woman who presented with dyspnea on exertion. Echocardiography revealed a mass located in the left atrium in proximity to the posterior leaflet of the mitral valve. The mass was successfully excised under cardiopulmonary bypass. Histopathologic analysis showed a capillary hemangioma. Twenty-five months after surgery, the patient remained asymptomatic, and her echocardiogram was normal. Herein, we discuss the histopathology and the clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic aspects of hemangiomas. We include a selected overview of the literature on surgically treated patients. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/51720 | ISSN: | 0730-2347 | Source: | Texas Heart Institute Journal[ISSN 0730-2347],v. 35(1), p. 69-72 |
