Giant Cardiac Cavernous Hemangioma Diagnosed with Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound: A Case Report

Heart Surg Forum. 2022 Jun 22;25(3):E452-E455. doi: 10.1532/hsf.4667.

Abstract

Presently, there are few reports in the database about a contrast-enhanced ultrasound-assisted diagnosis of cardiac cavernous hemangioma. We report a case of giant cavernous hemangioma of the heart, which was diagnosed using contrast-enhanced ultrasound. Finally, it was confirmed by surgical pathology. This case demonstrates that contrast-enhanced ultrasound can play an important role in the diagnosis of cardiac cavernous hemangioma.
