Cardiac hemangioma is a rare, benign primary tumor characterized by endothelial proliferation. While reports of cardiac hemangiomas demonstrating ¹⁸ F FDG avidity and other forms of hemangiomas showing ⁶⁸ Ga Dotatate avidity have been published, we present a rare case of primary cardiac hemangioma demonstrating ⁶⁸ Ga Dotatate avidity, mimicking a primary neuroendocrine tumor.
