Figure 1. Preoperative transthoracic echocardiography; apical four-chamber view showing a hyperechoic, round, mobile mass (arrow) (a). Transesophageal echocardiography revealed a homogenous, round, pedunculated mass (arrow) originating in the anteroseptal wall of the left ventricle (b). A round, hyperintense mass (arrow) originating in the anteroseptal wall of the left ventricle is seen on the two-chamber white blood cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (c). Preoperative coronary angiography demonstrated the characteristic finding of cardiac hemangioma “tumor blush” (arrow), which highlights the vascular nature of the tumor (d). Image of the excised cardiac mass measuring 2.3×1.5×1.0 cm (e).
