A 6-day-old neonate had a tamponade caused by a basolateral hemangioma of the left ventricle. Partial surgical resection was performed. A congenital lobular capillary hemangioma was diagnosed upon histological examination. The patient recovered completely and shows normal development at the 12-month follow-up.
