A benign tumor of hyperplastic thyroid tissue was found in a woman's right ventricle. Echocardiography diagnosed the rare cardiac tumor, which had a favorable outcome after surgical removal and 13-year follow-up.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Endocrinology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Cardiac tumors are rare, with benign types being more common.
  • Thyroid tissue in ectopic locations, such as the heart, is exceptionally unusual.

Observation:

  • A 43-year-old woman presented with a syncopal episode.
  • Echocardiography revealed a benign tumor within the right ventricle.

Findings:

  • Histopathological analysis confirmed the tumor was composed of hyperplastic thyroid tissue.
  • Surgical resection was performed, and the patient experienced a favorable outcome.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering rare differential diagnoses for cardiac masses.
