Updates to Case Attributes

Age changed from 60-65Y to 65 years.
Body was changed:

Cardiac hemangioma is is an uncommon benign cardiac tumor tumour (5-10%). They have no typical age of presentation and no typical cardiac chamber predilection.

The appearance, in this case, is typical with hyperintense T2 signal and gradual postcontrast enhancement on the perfusion sequence.

Updates to Study Attributes

Findings was changed:

MRI images of a biopsy-proven cardiac cardiac hemangioma.

Intraluminal mass arising from the RV free wall, hyperintense in T2 weighted images with classic hemangioma-like discontinuous nodular enhancement. 

Images Changes:

Image MRI (Cine SSFP) ( update )

Description was removed:
Isointense mass at the right ventricular base. It is adherent to the free wall.

Image MRI (Cine SSFP) ( update )

Description was removed:
Images of the mass in different planes.

Image MRI (HASTE dark blood fat sat) ( update )

Description was removed:
Hyperintense intraluminal mass arising from the RV free wall.

Image MRI (T2 dark blood fat sat) ( update )

Description was removed:
Hyperintense intraluminal mass arising from the RV free wall.

Image MRI (postcontrast perfusion SSFP) ( update )

Description was removed:
In this post contrast sequence, the mass demonstrates classic hemangioma-like discontinuous nodular enhancement.

Image MRI (postcontrast T1 dark blood fat sat) ( update )

Description was removed:
Relatively homogeneous postcontrast enhancement.
