Abstract

We present a case of a 61-year-old female who underwent excision of the mass within left atrial appendage. She underwent cardiac surgery due to cardiac tumor. The tumor was measured 6 cm, and it was completely resected. After surgery, pathological examination diagnosed endocardiac-based cardiac hemangioma. The post operative course was uneventful and the patient discharged on the 18th postoperative day.
