Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a systemic disease that is presented with different symptoms and signs. Cardiac manifestation is rare in ALL, but it is very important and needs appropriate management. It usually presents as leukemic myocardial infiltration and in the presence of cardiac mass comprehensive evaluation for other etiologies is mandatory. We reported on a 6-year-old boy in remission phase of ALL and large cardiac mass in the right atrium with obscure early symptoms and signs, in whom infective endocarditis (IE) was diagnosed and appropriate medical treatment was performed. Because the mass was sustained, surgical resection was considered for the patient.
急性淋巴细胞白血病(ALL)是一种表现出不同症状和体征的全身性疾病。ALL患者出现心脏表现较为罕见,但这非常重要且需要适当的处理。它通常表现为白血病性心肌浸润,若存在心脏肿块,则必须对其他病因进行全面评估。我们报告了一名6岁处于ALL缓解期的男孩,其右心房有巨大心脏肿块,早期症状和体征不明显,经诊断为感染性心内膜炎(IE)并进行了适当的药物治疗。由于肿块持续存在,考虑对该患者进行手术切除。
