We present a 16-year-old girl who presented with chest pain. Given her obesity and positive family history, she was felt to have atherosclerotic heart disease. However, an echocardiogram showed an atrial myxoma, which prompted surgical excision. This case supports the routine use of echocardiography and widened differential diagnosis when presented with pediatric chest pain.
我们报告一名16岁出现胸痛的女孩。鉴于她的肥胖和家族史阳性，考虑她患有动脉粥样硬化性心脏病。然而，超声心动图显示为心房黏液瘤，这促使进行手术切除。该病例支持在小儿出现胸痛时常规使用超声心动图并扩大鉴别诊断范围。
