Intramyocardial Hemangioma Mimicking Paraganglioma in Cardiac MRI and DOTANOC PET
Funding None.
Abstract
A cardiac hemangioma is a rare primary benign intracardiac tumor characterized by proliferation of endothelial cells. The lesions are hyperintense on T2/short tau inversion recovery magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and show avid enhancement and retention of contrast agents. Here we present a case of a histopathologically proven cardiac hemangioma showing uptake on Dodecanetetraacetic acid - octreotate (DOTATATE), masquerading as paraganglioma in MRI and positron emission tomography imaging.
