Primary cardiac tumors are rare in children with a low incidence varying from 0.0017 to 0.28% in autopsy studies. Approximately 90% of
the reported primary cardiac tumors in the pediatric population are benign and the most common subtype is rhabdomyomas accounting for
approximately 60%, while hemangiomas are rare primary tumors with a 5% incidence. Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is abnormal development
of the left-sided cardiac structures, leading to obstruction of blood flow from the left ventricle out-flow tract. Here we report a case of tricuspid
hemangioma in association with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, a rare association not previously reported in the literature.
