Abstract

Schwannoma of the heart is considered as the most rare tumor in non-myxomatous tumors of the heart. A 64 year-old male was admitted with the complaint of dyspnea for 1 year. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed severe degenerative mitral insufficiency. Perioperative transesophageal echocardiography revealed a mass in the left atrium. Complete resection of the tumor and mitral ring annuloplasty was performed. Histopathology showed a benign schwannoma. Schwannomas ar one of the cardiac massess which may be encountered in patinets undergoing open heart surgery due to other cardiac pathologies.

Özet

Kardiyak kökenli schwannom kalbin nonmiksomatöz tümörleri arasında en nadir görülenlerdendir. Altmış dört yaşında erkek hasta bir yıldan beri olan nefes darlığı şikayeti ile başvurdu. Transtorasik ekokardiyografide dejeneratif ileri mitral yetmezlik saptandı. Perioperatif transözofageal ekokardiyografide sol atriyumda kitle görüldü. Tümör tamamen rezeke edildi ve mitral ring anuloplasti yapıldı. Histopatoloji sonucu benign schwannom olarak geldi. Schwannomlar diğer kardiyak patolojiler için açık kalp cerrahisi yapılan hastalarda da saptanabilecek kardiyak kitlelerdendir.
