Abstract

Cardiac hemangioma is a rare, benign primary tumor characterized by endothelial proliferation. While reports of cardiac hemangiomas demonstrating <superscript>18</superscript> F FDG avidity and other forms of hemangiomas showing <superscript>68</superscript> Ga Dotatate avidity have been published, we present a rare case of primary cardiac hemangioma demonstrating <superscript>68</superscript> Ga Dotatate avidity, mimicking a primary neuroendocrine tumor.<br /> (© 2022 Wiley Periodicals LLC.)
