We report a case of completely resected right atrioventricular groove paraganglioma. Primary cardiac paragangliomas are extremely rare. Only about 60 cases have been reported in the literature, and most of these tumors originated from the left atrium or the base of the aortic root and pulmonary artery; 5 cases originated from the right atrium. In our patient, the paraganglioma was largely located in the right atrioventricular groove and protruded into the right atrial wall. To our knowledge, there has been no paraganglioma reported in the right atrioventricular groove. We successfully carried out complete tumor resection. Most of these tumors are locally invasive, and complete resection is often difficult.
我们报告了一例完全切除的右房室沟副神经节瘤。原发性心脏副神经节瘤极为罕见。文献中仅报道了约 60 例,且大多数肿瘤起源于左心房或主动脉根部和肺动脉根部;5 例起源于右心房。在我们的患者中,副神经节瘤主要位于右房室沟并向右侧心房壁突出。据我们所知,右房室沟内尚无副神经节瘤的报道。我们成功地进行了完整的肿瘤切除。这些肿瘤大多数具有局部侵袭性,完整切除往往较为困难。
