Abstract:
A patient with complete atrioventricular block and an implanted permanent pacemaker died of colon cancer at the age of 64 years. At autopsy, a cardiac tumor in the region of the atrioventricular node (mesothelioma of the atrioventricular node) was found. The origin of this type of tumor is controversial. Histochemical findings suggested that the tumor in this case was of endodermal origin.
