Cardiac metastases of thyroid carcinomas are rarely diagnosed ante mortem and infrequently reported in the literature. A 68-year-old man with known papillary thyroid carcinoma presented to the hospital with progressive shortness of breath. A transthoracic echocardiogram revealed a right ventricular mass. Contrast echocardiography perfusion imaging was used to evaluate the vascularity of the mass.
甲状腺癌的心脏转移瘤很少在生前被诊断出来,且在文献中报道较少。一名68岁的已知患有甲状腺乳头状癌的男性因进行性气短入住医院。经胸超声心动图显示右心室有一肿块。使用对比超声心动图灌注成像来评估肿块的血管情况。
