Prenatal diagnosis of right atrial hemangioma: A case report.

SynopsisFetal cardiac hemangiomas can be identified promptly with ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging, and early termination of pregnancy for tumor removal is recommended to avoiding poor outcomes.

Cardiac Hemangioma Mimicking Infective Endocarditis

Cardiac hemangiomas are rare and often misdiagnosed due to their nonspecific clinical presentations. We report a case of a 70-year-old man presenting with chills and cold sweats, initially suspected of having infective endocarditis based on echocardiographic findings of a mobile mass on the mitral valve. Laboratory results showed leukocytosis and elevated C-reactive protein, but blood cultures were negative. Transesophageal echocardiography later revealed a well-defined mass with characteristics suggestive of a tumor. Surgical excision confirmed the diagnosis of hemangioma. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, with no mitral regurgitation. This case highlights the importance of considering cardiac tumors in the differential diagnosis of intracardiac masses.

Infantile Cardiac Hemangioma: A Rare Case Presentation.

Cardiac hemangiomas are rare tumors of the heart which account for less than one-twentieth of all primary cardiac tumors. They can be seen in all age groups but are mostly diagnosed in neonates and children. Although cardiac hemangiomas are benign in nature they can present with features of congestive heart failure and occasionally be life-threatening. We present such a case in a two-month-old child who underwent successful surgical excision of the mass.

Cardiac Hemangioma Located in the Interatrial Septum: A Case Report and Literature Review

Cardiac hemangiomas are extremely rare benign tumors that can occur in any part of the heart. We report the case of an adult female with no history of structural heart disease or symptoms of discomfort. Cardiac ultrasound showed a mass on the right atrial surface of the atrial septum. Intraoperatively, the mass was identified within the atrial septum, at the junction of the inferior vena cava and the ostium of the coronary sinus. The mass did not enter the left or right atrial cavities. The mass was successfully removed, and cardiac hemangioma was confirmed by postoperative pathology. This report discusses the clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, and treatment options for cardiac hemangiomas based on an analysis of previously reported cases. Owing to the risk of arrhythmia in patients with hemangiomas in the atrial or ventricular septum, surgical resection is recommended.

UCSwin‐UNet model for medical image segmentation based on cardiac haemangioma

AbstractCardiac hemangioma is a rare benign tumour that presents diagnostic challenges due to its variable clinical symptoms, imaging features, and locations. This study proposes a novel segmentation method based on a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Transformer integration, with Swin‐UNet as the core model. We incorporated a U‐shaped convolutional neural network block into the original jump connection of Swin‐UNet. The Binary Cross Entropy Loss (BCE Loss) algorithm was added, and the learning rate decay algorithm was modified to select the appropriate one by comparing loss values. This paper utilizes the publicly available cardiac angioma dataset in AI Studio, consisting of 215 images for training and testing. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed model, this paper demonstrates its optimality through ablation experiments and comparisons with other mainstream models. The comparison experiments show that this model improves Dice by approximately 12%, HD95 by approximately 4.7 mm, Accuracy by approximately 6.1%, and F1 score by 0.11 compared to models such as UNet, UNet++, and Deeplabv3+, etc. For the recently proposed SOTO models, such as TransUNet, Swin‐UNet, and MultiResUnet, the Dice score improved by about 1.2%, HD95 reduced by about 1mm, Accuracy improved by about 0.3%, and F1 score improved by 0.015.

Large Right Ventricular Hemangioma Presented as Acute Pulmonary Embolism at Two Weeks Post-COVID19 Vaccination: A Case Report

Background: Right ventricular hemangioma is very rare. Corona Virus disease (COVID-19) and vaccination were documented to cause diverse thromboembolic phenomena. Case presentation: We report a large right ventricular hemangioma presented as acute pulmonary embolism two weeks after COVID-19 vaccination associated with acute kidney injury and significantly elevated Interleukin-6 (IL-6). There was no thrombocytopenia; therefore, the diagnosis of vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VIIT) was deemed unlikely. The patient underwent emergency cardiac surgery. The mass was excised through a right atriotomy, and tricuspid annuloplasty was done. IL-6 normalized after six days with resolution of acute kidney injury. Conclusions: Pulmonary embolism is a rare presentation of the right ventricular hemangioma, and COVID-19 vaccination could play a role in this presentation. Cardiac hemangioma could be associated with high IL-6 that resolves with excision.

Giant cardiac hemangioma in the right atrium: an asymptomatic surgical case

BackgroundCardiac hemangiomas are rare, accounting for only 5% of benign cardiac tumors. In the past, there have been few reports of giant cardiac hemangiomas that were > 100 mm in size but were asymptomatic.Case presentationA 44-year-old woman presented with a large asymptomatic intracardiac mass that was accidentally detected on echocardiography. The tumor was surgically resected. During surgery, a sharply margined tumor was located in the right atrium; the tumor was histopathologically diagnosed as a cavernous hemangioma. The patient was discharged uneventfully on the 18th postoperative day. No signs of recurrence were observed at 1 year postoperatively.ConclusionsWe report on a surgical case of an asymptomatic giant cardiac hemangioma 115 mm × 92 mm in size, as measured by echocardiography. It is difficult to diagnose cardiac tumors before surgery based on symptoms and imaging. Surgical resection is the most reliable treatment because of its accurate diagnosis and favorable prognosis.

Cardiac cavernous hemangioma with high fluorodeoxyglucose uptake on preoperative positron emission tomography/computed tomography: a case report

BackgroundReports on cardiac hemangioma detection by F-18-deoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) are extremely rare.Case presentationHere we describe a case of a 61-year-old man with hemangioma. CT revealed a tumor with a size of 60 mm. Magnetic resonance imaging showed high signal intensity on T2-weighted images. Hemangioma was initially suspected. However, PET/CT showed high FDG absorption, which led us to suspect a malignant tumor. The tumor was resected, and a cavernous hemangioma diagnosis was made by postoperative histopathological examination.ConclusionsThis case may serve as a reference for clinicians to become more aware of the potential application of FDG PET/CT for cardiac hemangioma detection.

Giant cardiac cavernous haemangioma of the right atrium in a newborn successfully managed using combined therapy.

Cardiac tumours are extremely rare. Most of the cases are diagnosed post-mortem.In this case, a tumour was found in a neonate during routine ultrasound screening in the first trimester of pregnancy. After birth, resection of the formation was performed and histologically confirmed as a cavernous haemangioma. Additionally, propranolol was prescribed in order to prevent relapse.

Misdiagnosis of a Right Atrial Cardiac Haemangioma: A Case Report

Cardiac haemangiomas (CH) constitute 2.8% of primary cardiac tumours [ [1] Li W, Teng P, Xu H, Ma L, Ni Y. Cardiac Haemangioma; A comprehensive analysis of 200 cases. Ann Thorac Surg. 2015;99:2246–52. Google Scholar ]. Right atrial (RA) CHs are very rare. Despite being benign lesions, they may result in life-threatening complications including stroke and sudden death [ [1] Li W, Teng P, Xu H, Ma L, Ni Y. Cardiac Haemangioma; A comprehensive analysis of 200 cases. Ann Thorac Surg. 2015;99:2246–52. Google Scholar ]. Although advances in imaging have provided insight into this condition, preoperative misdiagnosis is common. Diagnosis and management of CH is limited by the scarcity of evidence. Surgical excision remains the standard of care [ [1] Li W, Teng P, Xu H, Ma L, Ni Y. Cardiac Haemangioma; A comprehensive analysis of 200 cases. Ann Thorac Surg. 2015;99:2246–52. Google Scholar ].

P74 NIGHT SWEATS AND AN UNUSUAL RIGHT ATRIAL MASS

Abstract Background Primary cardiac tumors are infrequently, usually benign, and diagnosed incidentally. Among primary cardiac tumors, cardiac hemangiomas are exceptionally rare with only a 1–2% incidence. In most cases, histological diagnosis is made after surgical removal or at autopsy. Case presentation: A 36–year–old male patient is suffering from several months of bothering night sweats. He has no previous medical history and is not taking medication. After performing various exams, including an electrocardiogram and chest rx–ray that were unremarkable, the patient performed a chest TC scan that shows a large mass at right atrial level (Figure 1). Surprisingly, at transthoracic echocardiography the mass was not visible and moreover the exam was normal. To better visualize the mass, a transesophageal echocardiography was performed, showing a inhomogeneous, round–shape, intracavitary mass of 70x65 mm in size. The mass appear to be fixed, expansive, with no embolic–features and seem to be initially–obstructing the upper–cava blood flow (Figure 2), even the patient was hemodynamically stable. A diagnosis of lymphoma was initially suspected and an Total–body PET–TC was performed, showing that the heart mass was metabolically inactive and an intestinal metabolic active mass. Intestine mass biopsy, made by colonscopy, showed a non–malignous villous adenoma. Before undergoing heart surgery, to understand the nature of the mass, we performed a intracavitary ecocardiography (ICE)–guided percutaneous biopsy. Histologically, the heart tumor was composed of cavernous channels embedded in a loose fibrous stroma, compatible with Cavernous hemangioma. At heart surgery, the mass was localized inside the right atrium, at upper–front level, adhered to a small part of atrial myocardium, and was removed without complications. The right atrium was rebuilt with artificial patch. (Figure 3). Conclusions Cavernous cardiac Hemangioma is a rare tumor that may have an atypical clinical presentation. To our knowledge, this is the first case of cardiac hemangioma diagnosed by ICE–guided endomyocardial biopsy.

Rheumatism as a cause of cardiac hemangioma: a rare case report and review of literature with special focus on etiology

BackgroundCardiac hemangioma is a very rare benign tumor of the heart which accounts for 1–2% of all primary cardiac tumors. Multiple cardiac hemangiomas are even rarer with only three cases published in the literature. Pathologically it can be divided into cavernous hemangioma, capillary hemangioma, arteriovenous hemangioma, mixed-type hemangioma, and so on. At present, the etiology of cardiac hemangioma is not completely clear. In this study, we present multiple cardiac hemangiomas located in the right atrium and discuss the new unreported possible cause (rheumatism) of cardiac hemangioma. This is the fourth case of multiple cardiac hemangiomas in the medical literature and the first time to present rheumatism as the cause of cardiac hemangioma.Case presentationA 53-year-old man presented to the clinic with intermittent chest tightness and shortness of breath for 2 years. On echocardiography, multiple soft tissue masses in the right atrium were found. The patient had rheumatic heart disease with severe mitral stenosis and moderate tricuspid regurgitation. Two masses with a diameter of about 20 mm and 15 mm were seen in the right atrium. One mass was located on the inferior margin of the fossa ovalis and the other was adjacent to the inferior vena cava. Both masses were successfully removed surgically. The mitral valve replacement and tricuspid valve plasty were performed at the same time. The postoperative histopathology results confirmed the diagnosis of cavernous hemangioma.ConclusionThe occurrence of multiple hemangiomas in the heart is possible, especially in the presence of rheumatism. Rheumatism is one of the possible etiologies of cardiac hemangioma. Cardiologists and cardiac surgeons should be aware of its occurrence and should consider cardiac hemangioma as a differential diagnosis especially in rheumatic heart disease patients when they present with soft tissue cardiac masses for accurate management.

Surgical resection for a huge right ventricular hemangioma

Abstract Cardiac hemangiomas are particularly rare entities, are often asymptomatic, and are often merely observed because of its slow growth and benign nature. We report a 52-year-old male patient who presented with exercise intolerance and chest discomfort due to the mass effect of a large 14 × 10 × 6-cm epicardial hemangioma. The tumor arose from the recess between the aorta and main pulmonary artery and featured a prominent feeding artery from the right coronary artery. The tumor was successfully resected, and pathology confirmed the diagnosis of cavernous hemangioma. We review the clinical features, imaging characteristics, pathological findings, and prognosis of cardiac hemangiomas.
