title: Cardiac tamponade with renal failure due to hemangioma of the heart.
abstract: In a 18 year-old woman, an isolated benign hemangioma of the right atrium led to cardiac tamponade and acute renal failure. After 8 days of anuria, the tumor was excised and replaced by a pericardial patch. The persistence of severe renal shutdown necessitated further hemodialysis during 22 days postoperatively. The patient was discharged on the 45th day in good hemodynamic and renal condition. Thirteen cases of benign hemangioma of the heart have been reported in the literature: 12 were found at autopsy; only 4 were complicated by hemopericardium but none of these survived.
