“…Some cases are characterized by pericardial effusion, right ventricular outlet obstruction, and even sudden cardiac death (5)(6)(7). The location of cardiac benign masses varies, typically involving the atrium, ventricle, aortic valve, mitral valve, or epicardium (8,9). In the present case, the patient was asymptomatic, and the mass was attached to the IVS in the right ventricle, abutting the apex.…”

Primary right ventricular vascular malformation is a rare primary benign anomaly in heart in nature. Due to the extremely low incidence and the progress on the classification of vascular malformation, a few cases were reported in the literatures. In the current case study, a 55-year-old women presented with a cardiac mass that was identified in right ventricle during a routine medical checkup. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a well-circumscribed mass attached to the interventricular septum. Median sternotomy for the surgical resection of the mass and a cardiopulmonary bypass were performed. The intraoperative transesophageal echocardiogram showed that the mass had been successfully removed. The patient recovered well and was discharged from hospital 9 days after the surgery. The pathological diagnosis was primary cardiac arteriovenous malformation. No mass recurrence was shown by echocardiography during the 13 months' follow-up.

Background Cavernous hemangioma is a rare benign tumor which can sometimes mimic the clinical presentation and radiological findings of malignant tumors. Here we present a rare presentation of cavernous hemangioma in the mediastinum (CHM), along with a literature review among the main databases. Case presentation We present a 48-year-old male who had suffered from persistent cough as the sole symptom of an anterior CHM. Computed tomography scan demonstrated a 12.5 × 10.8 cm mass in the anterior mediastinum. The mass was surgically resected, and histopathological evaluation established the diagnosis of CHM. The patient was discharged in good condition, in which during his four-month follow-up period, no recurrence of the tumor has been observed. Conclusion Although cavernous hemangioma rarely present in the mediastinum, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of mediastinal tumors. However, our review of literature demonstrated a female dominance and average age of 40 years, with a 52% mortality rate based on previous reports.
