Intracardiac metastasis of a Malignant Mixed Mullerian tumor (MMMT): progressive dyspnoea due to obstruction of the left atrium and the left ventricle without left ventricular dysfunction or primary lung disease.
Аннотация
Malignant Mixed Mullerian tumors (MMMT) are rare gynecological tumors. Even with surgical treatment, chemotherapy, and/or radiotherapy, outcome is poor. MMMTs are known to metastasize to the liver, the abdomen, and the lungs. One case of an ocular metastasis has been reported. In a 61-year-old female patient who had undergone surgical resection of a Mullerian tumor of the uterus 26 months prior to being admitted to our department, we found an obstructing left atrial mass. Histopathologic assessment of this lesion after surgical resection revealed a Mullerian tumor metastasis. Immediately after surgery, the patient was asymptomatic, but was readmitted 4 months later with dyspnoea. Echocardiography and CT revealed new masses in the left atrium and left ventricle. On a literature review, we did not find any description of left atrial and left ventricular occluding metastases of MMMT.
