Giant Right Ventricle Myxoma Presenting as Right Heart Failure - a Case Report
Original language description
Introduction: Primary cardiac tumors are generally a very rare condition, with an incidence of only 0.0001% to 0.3% in autopsies. Despite the fact that myxoma is the most common primary heart tumor, fewer than 5% of myxomas, which vary in size, occur in the ventricles. Case report: A 19-year-old patient with an unremarkable medical history presented with a one-month history of exertional dyspnea, fatigue, facial edema, and palpitations. Echocardiography recorded a mass measuring 60 x 70 mm in the right ventricle, spontaneous echo contrast in the right atrium, a maximum blood flow velocity in the pulmonary trunk of 3 m/s, enlargement of right atrium and preserved left ventricle ejection fraction. The patient underwent a resection of the mass with concomitant tricuspid valve replacement with a biological prosthesis under cardiopulmonary bypass. Postoperatively, the condition was complicated by atrioventricular block, and an epicardial electrode and pacemaker were implanted. Histological analysis revealed a cardiac myxoma of diameter 110 x 90 x 50 mm. The follow-up echocardiographic examination three months after surgery documented good function of both the left and right ventricles, with normalization of the right atrial and right ventricle parameters. Discussion and conclusion: Right-sided cardiac tumors can lead to right ventricular outflow tract obstruction, with symptoms of right-sided heart failure. Despite good perioperative outcomes and a low risk of recurrence, early differential diagnosis and early surgical intervention are critical for patients to have an optimistic prognosis.
