title: An adolescent with chest pain and cardiac hemangioma.
abstract: Less than 5% of chest pain in children is cardiac in origin, yet this complaint still represents one of the top reasons children are referred to pediatric cardiologists. This article describes a patient whose cardiac tumor illustrates the challenges of evaluating pediatric chest pain and the Standardized Clinical Assessment and Management Plan algorithm that can help.
