Patients can develop de novo malignancies following orthotopic heart transplantation. However, vascular tumors are not commonly described in this population.
We present a 69-year-old female with a history of orthotopic heart transplantation for chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathy who developed an incidental pulmonary artery mass six years after her transplantation. Given concerns for malignancy, the patient underwent an operative excisional biopsy through a left anterior mini-thoracotomy with femoral artery and vein cannulation for cardiopulmonary bypass. The mass was determined to be a non-malignant vascular overgrowth with PIK3CA mutation.
We present the case of an unusual pulmonary artery mass with PIK3CA mutation found in a post heart transplant patient. We were able to spare her the morbidity of a redo-sternotomy by excising the mass via a minimally invasive left anterior thoracotomy approach.
原位心脏移植术后患者可发生新发恶性肿瘤。然而,该人群中血管肿瘤并不常见。
我们报告一名69岁女性,有因化疗所致心肌病接受原位心脏移植的病史,移植后6年偶然发现肺动脉肿物。鉴于对恶性肿瘤的担忧,患者接受了手术切除活检,通过左前小切口开胸,股动静脉插管进行体外循环。肿物被确定为伴有PIK3CA突变的非恶性血管过度生长。
我们报告了一例心脏移植术后患者出现的伴有PIK3CA突变的罕见肺动脉肿物病例。我们通过微创左前开胸入路切除肿物,避免了患者再次行胸骨切开术的并发症。
