Abstract

The article presents a case study of a 43-year-old man who was presented at the emergency department with weakness and dyspnea. The presence of a concentric pericardial effusion that was causing tamponade was revealed during transthoracic echocardiography. The patient underwent resection of the mass when final results of pathologic studies confirmed a cavernous hemangioma.
