Abstract
Hemangioma of the heart is a rare lesion, representing % to 10% of benign c ardiac tumors. Hemangioma of the mitral valve has been reported previously in one autopsy case report. We describe the excision and repair of a hemang ioma of the mitral valve in a 33-year-old African-American woman. (Ann Thor ac Surg 2001;71:345-7) (C) 2001 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
