Cardiac tumors are rare. They were found in only 0.001%–0.300% of cases in a relatively recently reported autopsy series. Among cardiac tumors, primary hemangioma accounted for approximately 2.8% of all primary resected tumors, indicating this is a particularly rare benign neoplasm. We present a patient with a 5×3×2 cm cavernous hemangioma, arising from the right atrial roof and occupying the atrial septum and inseparable from the aortic root. We successfully accomplished a complete surgical resection of a cardiac cavernous hemangioma and reconstructed the cardiac atrium by a bovine pericardial patch.
