Cardiac tumors are relatively rare, and their differential diagnosis is usually challenging. We present the case of a young man complain ing of nonspecific chest pain, who was admitted to the Cardiology Department due to suspicion of a thrombus in the left ventricle (LV). Transthoracic echocardiography showed an additional mobile structure located in the apex of the LV. For further investigation cardiac magnetic resonance imaging was performed, which raised suspicion of a benign tumor. Ultimately the patient underwent uncomplicated cardiac surgery with total excision of the tumor. Histopathology examination revealed capillary hemangioma.
