Cardiac tumors are relatively rare, with primary hemangiomas being a particularly rare benign neoplasm. Herein, we report a case of a symptomatic cardiac tumor detected via echocardiography in an 82-year-old woman. Although we performed advanced imaging examinations for her heart, we could not diagnose the tumor before surgery. Eventually, a tumor involving the left atrial roof was detected, and it was completely resected to relieve her symptoms and establish a precise diagnosis. Histopathological examination indicated a cardiac cavernous hemangioma. The patient exhibited an uneventful recovery without any complications.
心脏肿瘤相对罕见,原发性血管瘤是一种尤为罕见的良性肿瘤。在此,我们报告一例82岁女性经超声心动图检测出的有症状心脏肿瘤病例。尽管我们对她的心脏进行了高级影像学检查,但术前仍无法诊断该肿瘤。最终,发现一个累及左心房顶部的肿瘤,并将其完整切除以缓解她的症状并明确诊断。组织病理学检查显示为心脏海绵状血管瘤。患者恢复顺利,无任何并发症。
