Abstract
Cardiac haemangiomas are rare cardiac tumours that are usually asymptomatic and detected incidentally while imaging the heart with echocardiogram. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is a non-ionising imaging modality that allows the diagnosis of cardiac haemangiomas prior to surgery. We report a 36-year old male patient who was referred to the Adult Cardiology Clinic at the Royal Hospital, Muscat, Oman, in 2006 with a history of a left ventricle mass detected on echocardiogram. Further assessment of the mass by CMR revealed that the mass within the left ventricle apical septum contained features that were consistent with a cardiac haemangioma. Due to the surgical risk of ventricular septal defect and the stability of the mass, the patient was managed conservatively and upon followup the patient’s condition remained stable.
