A rare cardiac inflammatory pseudotumor, often mimicking malignancy, can delay diagnosis. This case highlights the clinical, radiological, and histological features of this benign condition in a young patient.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Cardiac inflammatory pseudotumors are rare, benign entities.
  • They can clinically and radiologically mimic malignant cardiac tumors, leading to diagnostic delays.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the clinical, radiological, and histological characteristics of a cardiac inflammatory pseudotumor.
  • To discuss the management of this rare condition.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of a 20-year-old patient with prolonged fever.
  • Initial suspicion of right ventricular myxoma based on imaging.
  • Complete resection of the cardiac mass.
  • Histopathological analysis of the resected mass.

Main Results:

  • Histopathology confirmed the mass as an inflammatory pseudotumor, not a myxoma.

  • The patient presented with prolonged fever and a cardiac mass initially suspected as myxoma.

    • Conclusions:

    • Cardiac inflammatory pseudotumors are rare but important differential diagnoses for cardiac masses.
    • Prompt surgical resection and thorough histopathological examination are crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.
    • Awareness of this entity can prevent misdiagnosis and delayed treatment of potentially benign conditions.
