Primary cardiac tumors are rare in all ages. Their reported prevalence ranges from 0.001 to 0.03 percent in autopsy series. 25 percent of primary cardiac tumors are considered to be malignant, the majority of which are sarcomas. On account of the late presentation of symptoms in malignant heart masses, finding locally infiltrative tumors or systemically widespread cases at initial presentation is common. We present a case of malignant heart tumor in a thirty-one-year old woman who was first examined here after the termination of pregnancy.
原发性心脏肿瘤在各年龄段均较为罕见。据尸检系列报道,其患病率在0.001%至0.03%之间。25%的原发性心脏肿瘤被认为是恶性的,其中大多数是肉瘤。由于恶性心脏肿块症状出现较晚,初诊时发现局部浸润性肿瘤或全身广泛转移的病例很常见。我们报告一例31岁女性的恶性心脏肿瘤病例,该患者在终止妊娠后来我院首次就诊。
