Hemangioma of the right ventricular outflow tract.
Obstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract by a primary cardiac tumor is rare. Six cases of right ventricular outflow tract obstruction by a primary cardiac hemangioma have been reported; all but one were detected before the age of 25 years. In this report, we review the literature and describe what we believe to be only the second reported case of right ventricular outflow tract obstruction produced by a cardiac hemangioma that presented in late adulthood.
