title: Hemangioma of the right atrium: imaging and pathology.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Cardiac hemangiomas are benign neoplasms which have been reported to appear as well-circumscribed, homogenous, enhancing masses at imaging.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We report a 49-year-old woman with a cardiac hemangioma detected by echocardiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. The multiple imaging modalities showed features which have been reported in cardiac hemangiomas. The tumor was surgically excised and the diagnosis of cardiac hemangioma was made.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Cardiac hemangiomas are rare tumors with a variety of imaging features which may suggest the diagnosis.
