Abstract

Primary cardiac tumours are rare. We report a patient with right ventricular cavernous haemangioma, in which non-invasive cardiovascular imaging including echocardiography and MRI helped in the diagnosis with a high pretest probability. The patient also had typical slow-fast atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia, which was an incidental finding and not related to the tumour.
