Overview

Hemangioma must be differentiated from other diseases such as: congenital hemangioma, kaposiform hemangioendothelioma, tufted angioma, Nevus flammeus, and Pyogenic granuloma.[1]

Hemangioma differential diagnosis

Hemangioma must be differentiated from other diseases such as:[1]

Differential Diagnosis of Cardiac Hemangioma

Cardiac hemangioma should be differentiated from other cardiac tumors that present as a cardiac mass. The following are the differentials:[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48]
