A rare intrapericardial tumor, giant lymph node hyperplasia, was found in a 42-year-old female. This unusual cardiac mass presented with chest pain and was successfully surgically removed.

Area of Science:

Cardiology
Oncology
Pathology

Background:

A 42-year-old female patient had a 2-year history of asymptomatic cardiomegaly.
She developed new-onset chest pain radiating to the left arm and face two weeks prior to presentation.

Observation:

Cardiac imaging revealed a highly vascular mass in the left atrial region.
Surgical exploration identified an intrapericardial tumor intimately adherent to both atria.

Findings:

Histopathological examination confirmed the tumor to be giant lymph node hyperplasia (GLNH).
This case represents an unusual intrapericardial localization of GLNH.

Implications:

Giant lymph node hyperplasia, though rare, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cardiac masses.
