Cherry angioma, also called cherry hemangioma [1] or Campbell de Morgan Spot, [2] is a small bright red dome-shaped bump on the skin. [3] It ranges between 0.5 – 6 mm in diameter and usually several are present, typically on the chest and arms, and increasing in number with age. [3] [4] If scratched, they may bleed. [5]
A subset of the primary tumors of the heart are tumors that are found on the valves of the heart. Tumors that affect the valves of the heart are found in an equal distribution among the four heart valves. [2] The vast majority of these are papillary fibroelastomas. Primary tumors of the valves of the heart are more likely to occur in males.
It is much more common to find metastasis from an alternate site than a primary heart tumor. [7] However, primary cardiac tumors do occur. One of these is the cardiac rhabdomyoma. Approximately 80-90% of these tumors are found in patients with tuberous sclerosis, a genetic condition causing multiple tumors, with most found prior to the age of ...
Most heart tumors begin with myxomas, fibromas, rhabdomyomas, and hamartomas, although malignant sarcomas (such as angiosarcoma or cardiac sarcoma) have been known to occur. In a study of 12,487 autopsies performed in Hong Kong seven cardiac tumors were found, most of which were benign. [ 1 ]
Infantile hemangiomas are the most common type of vascular tumor to affect babies, [4] accounting for 90% of hemangiomas. [5] They are characterised by the abnormal proliferation of endothelial cells and of deviant blood vessel formation or architecture. [6]

A myocardial infarction, also known as a heart attack, often result in the formation of fibrosis. [2] A myocardial infarction is an ischemic event, or a restriction of blood flow to body tissue, such as by atherothrombosis. [4] Without blood flow to the myocardium, it is deprived of oxygen, causing tissue death and irreversible damage. [5]
