Cardiac tumors are uncommon. Sometimes it is challenging to differentiate non-invasively between different kinds of cardiac tumors and thrombi, which is critical to dictate the subsequent treatment. In addition, not all high-risk cardiac tumors are amenable to surgical resection posing a therapeutic challenge. We report a case of cardiac papillary fibroelastoma in the left ventricular cavity with a 10-year follow-up, with no embolic complications.
心脏肿瘤并不常见。有时,非侵入性地区分不同类型的心脏肿瘤和血栓具有挑战性,而这对于确定后续治疗至关重要。此外,并非所有高危心脏肿瘤都适合手术切除,这带来了治疗挑战。我们报告一例左心室腔内心脏乳头状纤维弹性瘤病例,随访10年,无栓塞并发症。
