We present a 71-year-old male, who had had a heart transplantation 24 years prior, who came to our clinic with a low-grade fever and a new II/VI holosystolic murmur. Echocardiography showed a large mass in the right atrium with attachment near the junction of the right atrium and superior vena cava. The patient was taken to the operating room for resection of the mass. Microscopic evaluation was consistent with thrombus. Differential diagnosis of cardiac masses after cardiac transplant includes tumour, thrombus, and vegetation. Final diagnosis can be challenging; multimodality imaging and biopsy or resection often are required for final diagnosis.
我们报告一名71岁男性,他在24年前接受了心脏移植,因低热和新出现的全收缩期II/VI级杂音前来我们诊所就诊。超声心动图显示右心房有一个大肿块,附着于右心房与上腔静脉交界处附近。患者被送往手术室切除肿块。显微镜评估结果与血栓一致。心脏移植后心脏肿块的鉴别诊断包括肿瘤、血栓和赘生物。最终诊断可能具有挑战性;通常需要多模态成像以及活检或切除才能做出最终诊断。
