title: [Cardiac angioma. A case report and review of the literature].
abstract: We report the case of a 4-year old child who underwent echocardiographic examination which revealed a multicystic tumor mass involving the infero-lateral wall of the left ventricle. It was necessary to perform a biopsy to make a reliable diagnosis. Histological studies indicated haemangiomatous and fibrous tissue of benign origin. The extensive involvement of the left ventricular free wall did not favour resection so we advised periodic clinical examination and Holter ECG to highlight any eventual occurrence of hypo or hyperkinetic arrhythmias.
