一名57岁男性，有肾细胞癌病史，出现晕厥先兆。几年前，他接受了肾切除术，随后进行了HLA匹配的异基因外周血干细胞移植。超声心动图检查发现一个孤立的右心室肿块，没有连续的腔静脉或右心房受累。病理证实为右心室腔转移癌。本病例强调超声心动图显示孤立性右心室肿块的患者需要考虑潜在的肿瘤综合征。
A 57-year-old man with a history of renal cell carcinoma presented with presyncope. He underwent nephrectomy years earlier followed by HLA-matched allogeneic peripheral-blood stem-cell transplantation. Echocardiographic investigation revealed a solitary right ventricle mass without contiguous vena caval or right atrial involvement. The mass was pathologically confirmed to be metastatic carcinoma in the right ventricular cavity. This case highlights the need to consider an underlying neoplastic syndrome in patients presenting isolated right ventricle mass by echocardiography.
