Cardiac Spindle Cell Hemangioma: A Case Report

patients of all ages and have a reported prevalence rate of 0.001-0.03% in autopsy series and a rate of 0.15% in echocardiac series (1). The majority of primary cardiac tumors are benign. The most common primary cardiac neoplasm is a myxoma, which accounts for approximately half of all cases. Other benign primary tumors include the papillary fibroelastoma, rhabdomyoma, fibroma, hemangioma, paraganglioma, and lipoma (1). A spindle cell hemangioma is an uncommon vascular lesion that exhibits a predilection for the extremities (24). It has been previously described as a spindle cell hemangioendothelioma histologically resembling a cavernous hemangioma and Kaposi’s sarcoma. It is now regarded as a benign neoplasm that is often associated with vascular anomalies. To the best of our knowledge, its occurrence in the intracardiac space has not been previously reported. Here we report a case of cardiac spindle cell hemangioma. Case Report
