Abstract

Diagnosis of paracardiac masses is problematic in clinical practice, and they may remain asymptomatic for a long period. We herein report a case of mass posterior to the heart in a 57-year-old male. Computed tomography exami- nation showed a thin-walled cystic mass containing liquid, suggesting a relationship with pericardium at first. Further examination with transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography revealed that paracardiac mass did not have any relationship with heart structure. The patient underwent thoracic surgery and the pathologic examination revealed that the mass was an echinococcus cyst.

Özet

Parakardiyak kitlelerin tanısı klinik uygulamada problem olmaktadır ve bu kitleler çok uzun süre asemptomatik olarak kalabilir. Bu olgu sunumunda 57 yaşında erkek hastada kalbin posteriyorundaki bir kitleyi sunuyoruz. Bilgisayarlı tomografik incelemede ilk bakışta perikardla ilişkili olduğunu düşündüren ince duvarlı, mayi içeren kistik kitle saptandı. Transtorasik ve transözefageal ekokardiyografik incelemelerde parakardiyak kitlenin kalp yapıları ile ilişkisi olmadığı görüldü. Torasik cerrahiye verilen hastanın patolojik değerlendirmesi kitlenin ekinokok kisti olduğunu ortaya koydu.
