title: Intramural right atrial myocardial hemangioma treated by emergency surgery.
abstract: An unusual case of myocardial cavernous hemangioma causing dissection of the right atrial wall is described. A subsequent intramural hematoma presented as an extensive pseudotumor of the heart and was complicated by hematopericardium and tamponade. Tumor resection could be performed successfully. Diagnostic approach, surgical treatment and histopathological findings are presented.
