Benign congenital intracardiac thyroid and polycystic tumor causing right ventricular outflow tract obstruction and conduction disturbance.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A patient with a rare intracardiac tumor arising from the right side of the interventricular septum who developed conduction disturbances and symptoms of right ventricular outflow tract obstruction is reported. The patient was successfully treated with insertion of a permanent pacemaker and surgical removal of the tumor after two-dimensional echocardiography diagnosed the intracardiac mass. Pathologic examination confirmed the benign nature of the tumor and showed the unusual features of both ectopic thyroid and benign congenital polycystic tumor.

Intracardiac ectopic thyroid: a case report and review of published cases.
A woman with ectopic intracardiac thyroid tissue showing features of a colloid storage goitre presented with ventricular tachycardias and signs of right ventricular outflow obstruction. As the tumour was benign and removed at necropsy, the results of surgery are likely to have been good, but she died from a cardiac arrest before operation.
متن کاملGiant myxoma causing right ventricular outflow tract obstruction.
Atrial cardiac myxoma is the most common benign cardiac tumour. Atrial myxoma most commonly arises from the left atrium and, less frequently, from the right atrium or both ventricles. Cardiac myxoma arising from the tricuspid valve is rare. These tumours can present with right heart failure as a result of right ventricular outflow tract obstruction. A high index of suspicion and appropriate inv...
متن کاملIntracardiac yolk sac tumor and dysrhythmia as an etiology of pediatric syncope.
This report describes a new etiology of pediatric syncope. Epilepsy, brain anomalies, infection, electrolyte abnormalities, and trauma are commonly identified etiologies of seizures in the pediatric population. We report here a child with third-degree heart block and right ventricular outflow tract obstruction related to an intracardiac tumor presenting with syncope and seizure-like activity. E...
متن کاملIntracardiac blood-filled cysts of the heart: a rare cause of embolic stroke.
Intracardiac blood cysts are thin-walled congenital cysts located in the endocardium and are seen predominantly in infants. They are rare in adults and are typically asymptomatic. However, complications such as valve dysfunction and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction have been reported in adults. We report a 42-year-old woman who developed an embolic stroke in association with intracard...
متن کاملRight ventricular outflow tract tumour: an unsuspected intracardiac ectopic thyroid mass.
Ectopic thyroid is a rare embryogenic anomaly that occurs during its migration from foramen caecum to its pretracheal position. An intracardiac ectopic location is even rarer and found most commonly in the right ventricular outflow tract in sporadic reports. While surgery in symptomatic patients seems appropriate, resection of non-neoplastic ectopic tissue remains a clinical equipoise. Its occu...
