Recurrence of a right ventricular hemangioma.

The majority of cardiac tumors are benign, with only 25% to 30% being histologically malignant. Only 0.8% to 5% of all benign primary cardiac tumors are hemangiomas. Cardiac hemangiomas are vascular tumors, composed of capillaries or cavernous vascular channels. Patients usually have a variety of symptoms depending on location and extension of the tumor. Diagnosis and management of these tumors are difficult and delayed and require multiple investigations. We report a case of late recurrence of a cardiac hemangioma of the right ventricle from surgical treatment at our institution 10 years previously.
