Abstract
Hemangiomas are rare benign tumours of the heart, generally asymptomatic and usually diagnosed in male young or full-grown adults. We report here a case of a symptomatic right atrial hemangioma in a 75-year-old woman with a clinical history of hypertension. The tumour was diagnosed after an episode of acute bronchopneumonia precipiting the patient's cardiac failure initially referred to the hypertensive condition.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
