Cardiac hemangiopericytoma is a rare soft tissue tumor. We describe a case of hemangiopericytoma in the left atrium, which was diagnosed as myxoma preoperatively. A 70-year-old woman was admitted with heart failure. An echocardiogram showed a large myxoma-like mass in the left atrium, herniating into the left ventricle; therefore, an emergency operation was performed. Histological examination revealed a malignant hemangiopericytoma. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful, but she died due to a local recurrence 4 months after the operation.
心脏血管外皮细胞瘤是一种罕见的软组织肿瘤。我们描述了一例左心房血管外皮细胞瘤病例，该病例术前被诊断为黏液瘤。一名70岁女性因心力衰竭入院。超声心动图显示左心房有一个大的黏液瘤样肿块，突入左心室；因此，进行了急诊手术。组织学检查显示为恶性血管外皮细胞瘤。患者术后恢复顺利，但术后4个月因局部复发死亡。
