[Capillary hemangioma of the heart: a case report].
In a 52-year-old man, within the left ventricle, a globular mass 1.5 cm in diameter was detected incidentally by echocardiography. Selective coronary angiography showed a mobile patch of hypervascularity suggesting the vascular nature of the cardiac mass. The patient was operated and a pedunculated tumor originating from the anterolateral papillary muscle was removed. Histological examination revealed a benign capillary hemangioma. Six months after surgery the patient was reevaluated by echocardiography. There was no evidence of tumor recurrence.
