Abstract
Cardiac hemangiomas in the left ventricle are extremely rare. A 34-year-old woman, without symptoms, with a diagnosis of cardiac tumor at the apex of the left ventricle was referred to us. The tumor was surgically resected, a nd the diagnosis was hemangioma. The Jatene technique, originally introduce d for left ventricular aneurysmectomy was excellent for repair after resect ion of a cardiac tumor at the apex.
