It is very rare for heart tissue to give rise to a primary paraganglioma. Here, we report the observation of such a tumour in a 34-year-old woman who presented with symptoms of pulmonary venous congestion. The findings from echocardiography were consistent with the diagnosis of a myxoma that was partially occluding the left atrium. Surgery was performed in which a large (6 cm x 5 cm x 3 cm), non-lobulated solid tumour was resected from the posterior wall of the atrium. Upon histologic evaluation, this was determined to be a cardiac paraganglioma.
心脏组织发生原发性副神经节瘤极为罕见。在此，我们报告一名34岁女性出现肺静脉淤血症状，观察到了这样一例肿瘤。超声心动图检查结果与诊断为部分阻塞左心房的黏液瘤相符。进行了手术，从心房后壁切除了一个大的（6厘米×5厘米×3厘米）、无分叶的实性肿瘤。经组织学评估，确定这是一例心脏副神经节瘤。
