We report a case of a 43-year-old female, presented with complaints of breathlessness for 1 month and had three episodes of syncopal attacks in the past two months. On clinical evaluation, bilateral pedal oedema was noticed. Echo cardiogram revealed large left atrial blood clot measuring 5.7x4.3x4.3 cm. Ultrasound whole abdomen was normal. We received an excised mass with right pulmonary vein end arterectomy speciemen. Histopathology of the mass revealed characteristic features of leiomyosarcoma with grade III, according to FNCCS grading system. The tumour was consistent with substantial amount of poorly differentiated fasicles of pleomorphic spindle cells and brisk atypical mitosis, with marked necrosis. Immunohistochemistry revealed the tumour cells in strong diffuse cytoplasmic positive for smooth muscle actin and Ki-67 showed 15-20% of tumour cells postivity. The prognosis depends on the individual tumour origin for individual site, size of tumour and depth of tumour than histological features. Pulmonary venous leiomyosarcomas were assumed to be misinterpretation of left atrial leiomyosarcomas with growth of the tumour into pulmonary vein lumen. We report this case in view of its extreme rarity.
我们报告一例43岁女性病例,该患者主诉气短1个月,在过去两个月内有三次晕厥发作。临床评估时,发现双侧足部水肿。超声心动图显示左心房有一个大小为5.7×4.3×4.3 cm的大血凝块。全腹超声检查正常。我们收到了一份带有右肺静脉终末动脉切除术标本的切除肿块。根据FNCCS分级系统,肿块的组织病理学显示为III级平滑肌肉瘤的特征性表现。肿瘤由大量多形性梭形细胞的低分化束状结构和活跃的非典型有丝分裂组成,并伴有明显坏死。免疫组织化学显示肿瘤细胞的平滑肌肌动蛋白弥漫性强阳性,Ki-67显示15%-20%的肿瘤细胞阳性。预后取决于肿瘤的个体起源、肿瘤部位、大小和深度,而非组织学特征。肺静脉平滑肌肉瘤被认为是左心房平滑肌肉瘤生长至肺静脉腔内的误诊。鉴于该病例极为罕见,我们特此报告。
