Clinical symptoms of cardiac cavernous haemangiomas are unspecific and become evident once the tumour grows. To investigate the nature and vascular involvement of the tumour, a contrast-enhanced CT angiography or MRI can be performed. Cardiac haemangiomas are often misdiagnosed and must be differentiated from malignant angiosarcomas. Clear guidelines for the treatment of cardiac haemangiomas in adult patients are lacking. Primary cardiac tumours require thorough investigation, and surgical intervention should be tailored to the individual's case.
