Summary

A rare intrapericardial pheochromocytoma in the right atrium caused hypertension in a 46-year-old woman. Surgical resection using cardiopulmonary bypass was successful, reconstructing the atrium with bovine pericardium.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Endocrinology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Pheochromocytoma, a rare catecholamine-producing tumor, is an uncommon cause of hypertension.
  • While most pheochromocytomas are intra-adrenal, intrapericardial locations are exceptionally rare.

Observation:

  • A 46-year-old woman presented with a year-long history of hypertension.
  • A hypertensive crisis led to the detection of a right atrial pheochromocytoma.

Findings:

  • 131I-metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy and MRI confirmed the diagnosis.
  • The intrapericardial pheochromocytoma was surgically removed via cardiopulmonary bypass.
  • Right atrial reconstruction was performed using bovine pericardium.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering rare tumor locations in diagnosing hypertension.
  • Successful surgical management of intrapericardial pheochromocytoma is feasible.
  • Bovine pericardium serves as a viable option for cardiac reconstruction after tumor resection.
