title: Left ventricular hemangioma.
abstract: A young Saudi woman presented with symptoms of palpitation, near syncope, anxiety, and fatigue. Transthoracic echocardiography showed a left ventricular mass. Under cardiopulmonary bypass, brief cardioplegic arrest, and the aid of a thoracoscope, the mass was resected. Histologic examination showed a rare benign cardiac tumor: mixed cavernous-capillary hemangioma.
