Schwannomas are typically benign, indolent neoplasms. Primary pericardial schwannomas are extremely rare and arise from the cardiac plexus and vagus nerve innervating the heart. Few case reports have been documented to date. Pericardial schwannomas are difficult to diagnose at plain radiography or transthoracic echocardiography, often leading to further characterization with either CT or MRI. Biopsy is required for definitive diagnosis. A case of primary pericardial schwannoma of the posterior pericardium with concerns for compression of the left atrium and left ventricle is presented. © RSNA, 2021.
施万细胞瘤通常是良性、生长缓慢的肿瘤。原发性心包施万细胞瘤极为罕见,起源于支配心脏的心脏神经丛和迷走神经。迄今为止,仅有少数病例报告。心包施万细胞瘤在X线平片或经胸超声心动图检查时难以诊断,常需通过CT或MRI进一步明确特征。确诊需要进行活检。本文报告一例后心包原发性施万细胞瘤,该肿瘤可能压迫左心房和左心室。© RSNA,2021年。
