Primary cardiac tumours are rare. Cardiac fibroma is a benign tumour of the heart. It is fairly common among children and adolescents and is rarely encountered in adults. We present the case of a thirty-eight year old lady who presented with shortness of breath and was found to have a very large intra-cardiac mass that had cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) features consistent with cardiac fibroma. The patient was referred for tumour resection, however could not survive the surgery.
原发性心脏肿瘤很罕见。心脏纤维瘤是一种心脏良性肿瘤。它在儿童和青少年中相当常见,在成年人中很少见。我们报告一例38岁女性病例,该患者因气短就诊,经检查发现心脏内有一个非常大的肿块,心脏磁共振成像(CMR)特征符合心脏纤维瘤。该患者被转诊进行肿瘤切除,但未能挺过手术。
