An Unusual Presentation of Schwannoma in the Interatrial Space
We report the case of a 69-year-old woman who was diagnosed with intracardiac schwannoma without symptoms. Preoperative echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging showed a mass attached to the interatrial septum. The initial diagnosis was a myxoma or a bronchogenic cyst. The tumor was...

| description | We report the case of a 69-year-old woman who was diagnosed with intracardiac schwannoma without symptoms.
Preoperative echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging showed a mass attached to the interatrial
septum. The initial diagnosis was a myxoma or a bronchogenic cyst. The tumor was successfully excised under
cardiopulmonary bypass. However, the pathology of the excised tumor was consistent with schwannoma. We suggest
that cardiovascular surgeons consider schwannoma to be a possible differential diagnosis for a mass close to
the interatrial septum. |
