摘要:
A 58-year-old patient is presented who had a pulmonary adenoid cystic carcinoma which recurred 10 years after sleeve left pneumonectomy. The patient developed acute heart failure because the lesion obstructed blood flow by compressing the left atrium. Transesophageal echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a solid mass arising from the pericardium which displaced the posterior wall of the left atrium. The mass was resected. Postoperative radiation was not performed. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
