“…Based on a literature search, only 30 patients with a diagnosis of hamartoma of mature cardiac myocytes have been identified from 1998 to 2020 ( Table 1 ). 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 Of these 30, 19 were males (63%) and 11 were females (37%). The mean age was 32 ± 21 years, ranging from 6 months to 76 years.…”

Cardiac tumors in adults are exceedingly rare and usually benign. We describe a 29-year-old man with a previous diagnosis of interventricular septal hypertrophy who presented with increasing severity of dyspnea and fatigue. Work-up revealed a 4.9 × 3.7 cm mass at the base of the interventricular septum. Biopsy revealed a benign cardiac hamartoma atypically located in the right ventricle, and the mass was resected via right ventriculotomy.

“…За период с 2011 по 2019 г. в публикациях было найдено еще 5 случаев гамартомы сердца, 2 из которых описаны в отечественной литературе: у мужчины 52 лет и у ребенка в возрасте 1 мес. В обоих случаях опухоль локализовалась в правом предсердии [5][6][7][8][9][10].…”

“…Благодаря своей распространенности и низкой стоимости ЭхоКГ лидирует в этом алгоритме. Метод позволяет определить локализацию опухоли, ее форму и размер, подвижность и место прикрепления, дает возможность оценить наличие и степень препятствия кровотоку [1,8,10,11].…”

Primary cardiac tumors occur quite rarely, while the symptoms in patients with this pathology are very nonspecific. The data of physical examination and the results of electrocardiography and radiography are often less informative. In this connection, modern high-tech medical imaging tools play a very important role in the identification and differential diagnosis of this category of space-occupying lesions. The paper describes a case of right ventricular hamartoma diagnosedd in an adult patient with the long-term asymptomatic course of the disease.

“…However, since the morphology of HMCM varies and can be well circumscribed or infiltrated to normal myocardium, it is difficult to distinguish it from other cardiac lesions, such as fibroma, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or rhabdomyoma just by CMR. [3,12,15,16]…”

Rationale: Tumors in the heart are rare. Myxomas, rhabdomyomas, and fibromas are the most common benign cardiac tumors. Hamartoma of mature cardiomyocytes (HMCM) is another benign cardiac tumor, are very rare and have only been reported in a few literatures. Patient concerns: We report a case of 41-year-old male who suffered short of breath for 3 years, and lower limbs edema for 2 years. Diagnoses: Transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) showed a large amount of pericardial effusion and confirmed a mass of 18 × 14 mm on the superior vena cava near the outer edge of right atrium. The patient was first diagnosed as pleural mesothelioma. Surgery was performed to relieve the symptoms and confirm diagnoses. However, during surgery, we found the right atrium is apparently thicken with rough and uneven surface. Histology of right atrium mass indicated it as hamartoma of mature cardiomyocytes. Intervention: We resected the thicken atrial wall completely, reconstructed right atrium with bovine pericardial patch, and resected the pericardium. Outcomes: Patient was discharged 9 days after surgery, and remained asymptomatic during 9 months follow up. Lessons: Hamartoma of mature cardomyocytes is a rare benign cardiac tumor. There were 26 cases reported until now. The conclusive diagnosis depends on pathological sections. For patients with symptoms, surgery is an effective treatment for HMCM.
