A rare primary cardiac paraganglioma was surgically removed from a 59-year-old male. The patient recovered well with adjuvant chemotherapy, showing no recurrence after nearly three years.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors that can arise in the heart.
  • Primary cardiac paragangliomas are exceptionally uncommon, posing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Observation:

  • A 59-year-old male presented with palpitations and chest pain.
  • Diagnostic imaging revealed a 4.7 cm neoplasm in the left posterior atrium.

Findings:

  • The cardiac paraganglioma was successfully surgically excised.
  • Post-operative Adriamycin-based chemotherapy was administered as adjuvant treatment.

Implications:

  • Complete surgical resection and adjuvant chemotherapy can lead to favorable outcomes for cardiac paragangliomas.
