A 69-year-old man diagnosed with lung cancer had a transesophageal echocardiogram performed because of suspicion of intramyocardial tumor. The transesophageal echocardiogram confirmed the presence of both a right and left atrial mass. The lung cancer was believed to be potentially resectable if this mass did not represent tumor; therefore, biopsy of the intracardiac mass was requested. Intracardiac ultrasound was used to guide the biopsy procedure. Using intracardiac ultrasound guidance, a successful biopsy was performed that revealed the presence of tumor cells.
一名69岁被诊断为肺癌的男性，因怀疑心肌内肿瘤而接受了经食管超声心动图检查。经食管超声心动图证实左右心房均有肿块。如果这个肿块不是肿瘤，那么该肺癌被认为有可能切除；因此，要求对心内肿块进行活检。心内超声用于指导活检操作。在心内超声引导下，成功进行了活检，结果显示存在肿瘤细胞。
