Abstract:
Objective: To explore the clinical, pathological and echocardiographic characteristics of rare primary non-mucinous cardiac tumor (PNCT) and to investigate the diagnostic value of echocardiography in benign and malignant PNCT with various pathological classiifcations. Methods: We retrospectively studied 32 PNCT patients including 21 benign and 11 malignant patients treated in our hospital from 2003-01 to 2013-02. There were 23 male and 9 female from 0.5 to 66 (36.92 ± 20.17) years of age. We analyzed the clinical information of echocardiography, CT, MRI and operation, and the ifndings were conifrmed by pathology. Results: Statistic analysis presented that there were more male PNCT patients than female, the ratio of male/female in benign patients was 16/5, in malignant patients was 7/4, P<0.05, the age was similar between 2 groups, (38.06 ± 21.68) years vs (35.72 ± 13.55) years,P>0.05, and either infant or adult could suffer from PNCT. Benign PNCT was more in left heart and malignant PNCT was more in right heart. Compared with benign PNCT, malignant lesions were usually no base, with irregular shape, pericardial effusion and surrounding tissue adhesion. Conclusion: Echocardiography was sensitive for diagnosing the patients with PNCT, it could preliminarily identify benign and malignant lesions with different ultrasonographic manifestation.
