The prevalence of primary cardiac neoplasms is approximately 0.3% and these masses should be distinguished from many of other primary and secondary processes that can occur in the heart. Further assessment of the left ventricular mass presents important clinical implications. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance was used.
An asymptomatic 12-year-old child was referred for cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging to further assess a left ventricular mass found after an echocardiography, executed for assessment for sport activity. His past medical history was absolutely negative. The patient was in optimal state of health. The EKG showed an aspecific ST elevation. A hamartoma was diagnosed. A surgical approach was performed. After 7 days the patient is in good condition.
原发性心脏肿瘤的患病率约为0.3%，这些肿块应与心脏可能出现的许多其他原发性和继发性病变相鉴别。对左心室肿块进行进一步评估具有重要的临床意义。采用了心血管磁共振成像。
一名12岁无症状儿童因运动活动评估而进行超声心动图检查时发现左心室肿块，随后转诊进行心血管磁共振成像以进一步评估。他既往病史完全阴性。患者健康状况良好。心电图显示非特异性ST段抬高。诊断为错构瘤。实施了手术治疗。7天后患者状况良好。
