Cardiac tumours may display diverse symptoms through potential involvement of any structure of the heart. We describe a case of a highly malignant thymoma with involvement of different cardiac structures with important haemodynamic compromise. With the high sensitivity of transthoracic echocardiography for detection of intracardiac masses, computed tomography and magnetic resonance add essential structural preoperative information on the tumour and surrounding tissue as vessels, pleura, lung and mediastinum.
心脏肿瘤可能通过心脏的任何结构的潜在受累而表现出不同的症状。我们描述了一例高度恶性胸腺瘤累及不同的心脏结构并伴有重要的血液动力学障碍的病例。由于经胸超声心动图对心内肿块的高敏感性，计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像可提供肿瘤和周围组织（如血管、胸膜、肺和纵隔）的重要术前结构信息。
