Abstract


This is a case of a 77-year-old woman who presented complaining of chest pain and was found to be secondary to a mass in her left atrial appendage (LAA). The patient underwent complete surgical excision of the 4.5 cm mass and the pathology report revealed a cardiac hemangioma. Her postoperative clinical course was uneventful and she was discharged in good condition and chest-pain-free.
