Intracardiac glomus tumors are very rare neoplasms arising from mesenchymal cells. Solitary glomus tumors are usually benign and mostly seen in the skin of limbs. Still, exceptional cases of noncutaneous visceral glomus tumors have been reported at sites other than the limbs. We present a case of glomangioma that was surgically removed from the right ventricle and briefly pointed to the importance of differential diagnosis of cardiac tumors. A 57-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for dyspnea and recurrent arrhythmia attacks. We performed a three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiogram, and contrast chest CT, which revealed a mass in the right ventricle. She was successfully treated with cardiac surgery. After pathological studies, the tumor was finally diagnosed as benign intracardiac glomangioma.
心脏内血管球瘤是一种非常罕见的起源于间充质细胞的肿瘤。孤立性血管球瘤通常为良性,多见于四肢皮肤。不过,也有报道称在四肢以外的部位出现过非皮肤内脏血管球瘤的特殊病例。我们报告一例从右心室手术切除的血管球瘤病例,并简要指出心脏肿瘤鉴别诊断的重要性。一名57岁女性因呼吸困难和反复心律失常发作被转诊至我院。我们进行了三维经胸超声心动图和胸部增强CT检查,发现右心室内有一个肿块。她通过心脏手术成功治愈。经过病理研究,该肿瘤最终被诊断为良性心脏内血管球瘤。
