Incremental benefit of three‐dimensional transesophageal echocardiography in the assessment of a primary pericardial hemangioma

Hemangiomas are rarely found in the heart and pericardial involvement is even more rare. We report a case of primary pericardial hemangioma, in which three‐dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (3DTEE) provided incremental benefit over standard two‐dimensional images. Our case also highlights...

Description
Summary:Hemangiomas are rarely found in the heart and pericardial involvement is even more rare. We report a case of primary pericardial hemangioma, in which three‐dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (3DTEE) provided incremental benefit over standard two‐dimensional images. Our case also highlights the importance of systematic cropping of the 3D datasets in making a diagnosis of pericardial hemangioma with a greater degree of certainty. In addition, we also provide a literature review of the features of cardiac/pericardial hemangiomas in a tabular form.
