We report a case of a primary cardiac spindle cell neoplasm with concerning histological features and a rare gene fusion in a 3 year old boy. The patient presented with a large cardiac mass predominantly in the right ventricle, originating from the ventricular septum. The mass was resected with grossly negative margins. Pathology revealed an unclassified spindle cell neoplasm with a gene fusion. This gene fusion has only been previously reported twice in the medical literature, one in a pediatric cardiac sarcoma and the other in an abdominal soft tissue tumor in an adult woman. The patient is alive and well with no evidence of recurrence 11 months after excision.
我们报告了一例 3 岁男孩的原发性心脏梭形细胞肿瘤,具有令人担忧的组织学特征和罕见的基因融合。该患者表现为主要位于右心室的巨大心内肿块,起源于室间隔。肿块大体上无边界地被切除。病理显示为未分类的梭形细胞肿瘤,存在基因融合。该基因融合仅在医学文献中报道过两次,一次是在儿科心脏肉瘤中,另一次是在成年女性的腹部软组织肿瘤中。患者在切除后 11 个月无复发迹象,生存情况良好。
