Peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor isolated in the heart, presenting as a primary cardiac tumor is considered as extremely rare.
We present a 53-year-old Chinese female with a cardiac tumor which was discovered by CT.
A hypo-intense tumorous mass was shown extending from the left ventricle by Cardiac CT, and fused FDG positron emission tomography demonstrated no other abnormal FDG active lesions in the body. We performed a total resection surgery of the tumor subsequently and the patient recovered well and discharged from hospital 6 d after surgery.
The pathological diagnosis was primary cardiac peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor. No tumor recurrence was shown by echocardiography during the 24 months follow-up visits.
孤立于心脏的外周原始神经外胚层肿瘤,作为原发性心脏肿瘤呈现极为罕见。
我们报告一名53岁中国女性,其心脏肿瘤由CT发现。
心脏CT显示一个低强度肿瘤团块从左心室延伸,融合的氟代脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层显像显示体内无其他异常氟代脱氧葡萄糖活性病变。随后我们对肿瘤进行了全切除手术,患者恢复良好,术后6天出院。
病理诊断为原发性心脏外周原始神经外胚层肿瘤。在24个月的随访期间,超声心动图未显示肿瘤复发。
