Patient with myelodysplastic syndrome presented with recurrent pericardial effusion diagnosed as epicardial hemangioma; Case report of a rare diagnosis with rare presentation. Radiol Case Rep 2023; 18:2253-2258. [PMID: 37123036 PMCID: PMC10130068 DOI: 10.1016/j.radcr.2023.03.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2023] [Revised: 03/07/2023] [Accepted: 03/15/2023] [Indexed: 05/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Primary cardiac tumors are extremely rare and cardiac hemangiomas comprise less than 3% of them. Presentation of such disease with recurrent pericardial effusion is even rarer. Our patient is known case of myelodysplastic syndrome and up to our knowledge there are no reported case in which cardiac hemangioma was diagnosed in a patient with myelodysplastic syndrome. This 64 years male patient presented to our department with recurrent pericardial effusion, diagnosis was a query after extensive work he was found to suffer from a cardiac tumor based on the pulmonary artery and right ventricle. We performed surgery for him on cardiopulmonary bypass and did complete resection of the mass for him and result of biopsy showed mixed hemangioma. Recurrent pericardial effusion is most commonly a sign of a malignancy. Even with advancement of medical technology diagnoses of cardiac hemangiomas are still difficult. Treatment and definitive diagnosis is still complete surgical resection and histopathological examination.

Abstract
Cardiac hemangiomas are benign, slow‐growing tumors among the most common soft tissue tumors in the human body. Surgical resection is highly recommended for cardiac hemangiomas in symptomatic patients. We report our cases with a review of the literature on cardiac hemangiomas.
