Primary cardiac tumors are rare (0.001 to 0.03%). Malignant tumors account for 25%, of which 75% are cardiac sarcomas.
Here, we report a case of a 57-year-old male with palpitation and history of left atrial (LA) myxoma resection presented to cardiology clinic for postsurgical follow up and transthoracic echocardiography revealed a large non-homogenous mass in LA with right atrium invasion, which was confirmed by trans-esophageal echocardiography. The patient underwent surgical resection of tumor and the pathological diagnosis was malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH).
MFH could be asymptomatic and the diagnosis be established as a surgical or complementary examination. In patients with history of myxoma resection and cardiac masses, further evaluation is recommended.
原发性心脏肿瘤罕见(0.001%至0.03%)。恶性肿瘤占25%,其中75%为心脏肉瘤。
在此,我们报告一例57岁男性,有心悸症状且有左心房黏液瘤切除病史,前往心脏病诊所进行术后随访,经胸超声心动图显示左心房有一个大的不均匀肿块,侵犯右心房,经食管超声心动图证实。患者接受了肿瘤手术切除,病理诊断为恶性纤维组织细胞瘤(MFH)。
MFH可能无症状,可通过手术或辅助检查确诊。对于有黏液瘤切除病史和心脏肿块的患者,建议进一步评估。
