We report a rare case of benign metastasizing leiomyoma in the heart of a 45-year-old woman 2 years after a uterine leiomyoma had been discovered during hysterectomy. Computed tomograms at presentation showed a large mixed cystic mass in the pelvis and bilateral lung nodules suggestive of metastatic disease. A large cardiac mass, attached to the chordae of the tricuspid valve and later shown to be histopathologically consistent with uterine leiomyoma, was successfully resected through a right atriotomy. This case suggests that benign metastasizing leiomyoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of right-sided cardiac tumors.
我们报告了一例罕见的良性转移性平滑肌瘤病例,患者为 45 岁女性,2 年前因子宫平滑肌瘤行子宫切除术时发现。就诊时的计算机断层扫描显示骨盆内有一个大的混合囊性肿块,双侧肺结节提示转移性疾病。通过右心房切开术成功切除了附着在三尖瓣腱索上的大心脏肿块,后来组织病理学检查结果与子宫平滑肌瘤一致。该病例提示,在右侧心脏肿瘤的鉴别诊断中应考虑良性转移性平滑肌瘤。
