A 39-year-old man presented to the department of emergency medicine in Seoul National University Hospital complaining of chest pain, heart palpitation, and headache. Upon arrival, a computed tomography scan showed a 7.0 cm×6.2 cm lesion with the typical features of a paraganglioma. The patient was treated with an alpha-blocker and a beta-blocker prior to surgical intervention. We removed the tumor successfully, and histopathologic findings indicated that the tumor was indeed a paraganglioma. Since intracardiac paraganglioma is a rare disease, we present this case together with a literature review.
一名39岁男性因胸痛、心悸和头痛就诊于首尔国立大学医院急诊科。入院时，计算机断层扫描显示一个7.0厘米×6.2厘米的病灶，具有副神经节瘤的典型特征。在手术干预前，该患者接受了α受体阻滞剂和β受体阻滞剂治疗。我们成功切除了肿瘤，组织病理学检查结果表明该肿瘤确实是副神经节瘤。由于心脏内副神经节瘤是一种罕见疾病，我们将此病例与文献综述一同呈现。
