Abstract:
Cardiac tumors are uncommon and most of them are benign. Although cases of malignant cardiac tumors are rare, it is still necessary to improve awareness in both clinical and pathological diagnosis. Since cardiac tumors often have a high degree of malignancy, it is vital to determine what form of intervention can increase recurrence-free survival and overall survival. In this paper, we report on a 42-year-old woman in the third trimester of pregnancy who had a cardiac undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma. According to her medical history, the patient had never had a cardiac tumor or any other disease. She was treated surgically and a left atrial mass was removed immediately after cesarean section. No other treatments were applied after the surgery, and, unfortunately, the tumor reoccurred 6 months later. We reviewed some literature and found one case in which the patient was treated using radiotherapy and survived for another 2 years after the third tumor recurrence. This suggests that neoadjuvant therapy effectively improves the survival rates of such patients.
摘要:
心脏肿瘤并不常见,大多数是良性的。虽然心脏恶性肿瘤的病例很少见,在临床和病理诊断中仍有必要提高认识。由于心脏肿瘤的恶性程度往往很高,确定哪种干预方式可以提高无复发生存率和总生存率至关重要.在本文中,我们报道了一名42岁的妊娠晚期女性,她患有心脏未分化多形性肉瘤。根据她的病史,患者从未患过心脏肿瘤或任何其他疾病。她接受了手术治疗,剖宫产后立即切除了左心房肿块。手术后没有其他治疗方法,and,不幸的是,6个月后肿瘤复发.我们回顾了一些文献,发现一例患者接受放射治疗,在第三次肿瘤复发后又存活了2年。这表明新辅助治疗有效地提高了此类患者的生存率。
