The majority of primary cardiac tumors are benign; of these tumors, cardiac paragangliomas are among the rarest. We report a case of biatrial cardiac paraganglioma discovered during workup for palpitations and fatigue. The tumor involved the interatrial septum, with a lobulated portion protruding through the foramen ovale into the right atrium. The tumor was successfully excised, leading to uneventful recovery.
大多数原发性心脏肿瘤是良性的;在这些肿瘤中,心脏副神经节瘤是最罕见的。我们报告一例在心悸和疲劳检查过程中发现的双侧心房心脏副神经节瘤病例。肿瘤累及房间隔,有一个分叶状部分通过卵圆孔突入右心房。肿瘤成功切除,患者恢复顺利。
