Although benign, these lesions can compress adjacent cardiac structures, leading to symptoms such as arrhythmias, heart failure, or even sudden death. This study presents a rare case of a giant cardiac haemangioma and provides a review of the current literature on its diagnosis and management.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case Report<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 58-year-old female presented with progressive abdominal pain and dyspnoea. Imaging revealed a large, heterogeneous mass in the pericardial sac measuring 11.9 \u00d7 11.7 \u00d7 6.7\u2005cm. Complete surgical resection was performed without complications. Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of a cavernous haemangioma. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, and follow-up imaging showed no residual mass or functional impairment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Cardiac haemangiomas are rare and pose significant diagnostic challenges. Advanced imaging modalities, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT), are essential for accurate diagnosis and surgical planning. Complete tumour resection remains the treatment of choice, ensuring a favourable prognosis and minimal risk of recurrence.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Effective management of giant cardiac haemangiomas requires early diagnosis, precise imaging, and complete surgical resection.
