Henrietta Egleston Hospital for Children, Atlanta, Ga.

A 3 1/2-year-old child had a murmur of pulmonary stenosis. Echocardiography and cardiac catheterization revealed a pulmonary infundibular obstruction. Magnetic resonance imaging of the heart demonstrated a mass in the interventricular septum. The mass was successfully resected and a pathologic diagnosis of capillary hemangioma was made. Only two previous cases of hemangioma causing right ventricular outflow obstruction have been reported; both of these cases involved adults. This case represents the first report of a hemangioma causing right ventricular outflow tract obstruction in a child. An exploratory operation with resection is the treatment of choice.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

D006338 Heart Neoplasms Tumors in any part of the heart. They include primary cardiac tumors and metastatic tumors to the heart. Their interference with normal cardiac functions can cause a wide variety of symptoms including HEART FAILURE; CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIAS; or EMBOLISM.

D006352 Heart Ventricles The lower right and left chambers of the heart.

D006391 Hemangioma A vascular anomaly due to proliferation of BLOOD VESSELS that forms a tumor-like mass. The common types involve CAPILLARIES and VEINS. It can occur anywhere in the body but is most frequently noticed in the SKIN and SUBCUTANEOUS TISSUE.

D014694 Ventricular Outflow Obstruction Occlusion of the outflow tract in either the LEFT VENTRICLE or the RIGHT VENTRICLE of the heart. This may result from CONGENITAL HEART DEFECTS, predisposing heart diseases, complications of surgery, or HEART NEOPLASMS.
