Blood-filled cysts of the heart valves are commonly reported at postmortem examination of infants but are rarely seen in older children and adults. These cysts appear to be benign lesions and should be removed only if they cause problems. We present the case of a patient with a tricuspid valve blood cyst that was surgically removed and then discuss the differential diagnosis and management of these cysts. When a cardiac mass has features suggestive of a blood cyst, radical resection should not be performed unless histologic confirmation of tumor is obtained.
心脏瓣膜充满血液的囊肿在婴儿尸检中常见，但在大龄儿童和成人中罕见。这些囊肿似乎是良性病变，仅在引起问题时才应切除。我们报告一例三尖瓣血囊肿患者，该囊肿经手术切除，随后讨论这些囊肿的鉴别诊断和处理。当心脏肿物具有提示血囊肿的特征时，除非获得肿瘤的组织学证实，否则不应进行根治性切除。
