“…The symptoms of cardiac lymphangioma appear only when the tumor size becomes large enough. Among the 14 cases, arrhythmia was observed in 4 cases, [7,8,12,19] chest tightness and dyspnea in 4 cases, [14,15,18] chest pain in 2 cases, [17] and heart failure in 1 case [16] ; 2 cases were asymptomatic. [10,13] Results of laboratory examinations are generally normal.…”

“…Cardiac lymphangioma may be associated with other lesions. [6] Of the 14 cases, 1 had accompanying breast cancer; [13] 1, pelvic lymphangioma [14] ; and 1, left axillary fossa, left neck, and left scapular lymphangioma. [8] Cardiac lymphangioma can originate from various parts of the heart, including the atrial septum, myocardium, atrioventricular node, and heart valves.…”

Rationale:Cardiac lymphangioma is a rare disease. Until now, there have been only a few cases of cardiac lymphangioma reported in the literature.Patient concerns:We report the case of a 57-year-old female patient with cardiac lymphangioma from atrial septum.Diagnosis:Color Doppler echocardiography was performed, which revealed a tumor occupying a large amount of space in the left and right atrium.Interventions:The patient underwent thoracoscopic cardiac tumor resection under general anesthesia according to the procedure used for benign tumors.Outcomes:The patient recovered completely and was discharged home. Follow-up color Doppler echocardiography scans obtained from 6 months to 2 years after the operation showed no recurrent mass.Lessons:Once the tumor is detected, surgical treatment should be implemented as soon as possible.

“…Treatment of mediastinal lymphangioma remains difficult. [3][4][5] Surgical excision is the treatment of choice in cases of cystic mediastinal lymphangioma but complete resection can prove technically problematic because of the insinuating nature of the tumor. 6,7) However, with complete tumor resection, the prognosis is good.…”

Lymphangioma is a well-known benign tumor and its cystic abnormalities of the lymph vessels are predominantly congenital. Cystic lymphangioma usually occurs in the neck, axillary region, and rarely in the mediastinum, which frequently occurs in children and young adults. A 20-year-old woman had symptoms of palpitation, cough, and dyspnea during the recent 1 month. Both chest comuted tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the chest revealed a well-defined, 13 × 10-cm cystic lesion in the anterior mediastinum. The patient underwent bilateral video-assisted thoracoscopic excision of the cyst and lymphangioma was confirmed based on histopathologic examination. Here, we report a rare case of isolated mediastinal cystic lymphangioma that was successfully excised using a minimally invasive technique.

“…In addition, the literature has discussed 17 cases of lymphangiomas localized in the heart [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. From these cases, 2 cases were diagnosed as a mixed hemolymphangioma.…”

StreszczenieLymphangioma to bardzo rzadki, pierwotny nowotwór serca. Rozpoznawany jest zwykle przypadkowo w badaniach autopsyjnych. Do tej pory wydano zaledwie kilkanaście publikacji dotyczących tego nowotworu. W pięciu przypadkach rozpoznano go przypadkowo, w pozostałych dawał objawy kliniczne. Wynikały one z ucisku na struktury serca lub z zaburzonego przepływu krwi przez serce. Najczęściej były to objawy niewydolności krążenia i zaburzenia rytmu serca. W diagnostyce najbardziej przydatne jest badanie echokardiograficzne przezklatkowe i przezprzełykowe (TTE, TEE), które obrazuje guz wraz z efektem hemodynamicznym. Ostateczne rozpoznanie ustalane jest zwykle na podstawie badania histopatologicznego preparatu po jego operacyjnym usunięciu. Leczeniem z wyboru jest chirurgiczne wycięcie guza. W pracy przedstawiono przypadek lymphangioma, który był zlokalizowany w świetle prawego przedsionka i powodował znaczne utrudnienie napły-wu krwi do prawej komory, co było przyczyną niewydolności krążenia. Omówiono także wszystkie znane opisy przypadków tego nowotworu, które dotyczyły serca. Słowa kluczowe: guz serca, echokardiografia, operacja. Kardiochirurgia i Torakochirurgia Polska 2013; 10 (3) 283 CASE REPORT AbstractLymphangioma is a very rare primary tumor of the heart. It is usually incidentally found during autopsies and there have only been a handful of documented cases of this tumor in the heart. In 5 cases, it was discovered accidentally and the remaining cases gave clinical symptoms. Major symptoms of heart lymphangiomas include compression of surrounding mediastinal structures and/or inadequate blood flow through the heart. Specifically the cardiac disturbances lead to rhythm and circulatory failure. The most useful diagnostic tests for this heart tumor include echocardiography, which shows not only the tumor but also its hemodynamic effects. The following article presents the accidental finding of a lymphangioma, localized in the right atrium. It caused considerable difficulty for the blood flow into the right heart chamber, which then led to circulatory failure. In addition we will also discuss all known cases of cardiac lymphangiomas.
