Cardiac blood cyst with concomitant papillary fibroelastoma

Right atrial blood cyst of a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

“…In the current literature we found fifteen cases of cardiac blood cysts located in the right atrium [1][2][3][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. There are several exceptional clinical cases of blood cyst with total occlusion of the right coronary artery [14], double blood cyst [18], blood cyst with ischaemic heart disease [10], blood cyst with simultaneous fibroelastoma [1]. To our best knowledge, a case of a cardiac blood cyst with HCM as in our case has never been previously reported.…”

“…Almost in all reported cases of cardiac blood cysts have involved the valvular apparatus or papillary muscle of the tricuspid, pulmonary, or mitral valve. In the current literature we found fifteen cases of cardiac blood cysts located in the right atrium [1][2][3][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. There are several exceptional clinical cases of blood cyst with total occlusion of the right coronary artery [14], double blood cyst [18], blood cyst with ischaemic heart disease [10], blood cyst with simultaneous fibroelastoma [1].…”

“…There are two different opinion sides of the optimal management of symptomatic or complicated blood cyst in asymptomatic patient. Surgical resection in all patients to prevent complications such as emboli and exclude malignancy is recommended by most of the authors [1,3,8,10,14]. Other authors prefer surgical operation in symptomatic patients with cardiac blood cysts, because of benign nature of the tumour [2,12,17].…”

“…The origin of cardiac blood cysts is not well understood. Complications of cardiac blood cyst depend on the location of the cyst, and can include syncope, embolism, valvular dysfunction, ventricular outflow tract obstruction, occlusion of a coronary artery, embolism, and/or death [1][2][3][4]. We present a rare case of a blood cyst in the right atrium of a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.…”

Congenital Blood Cyst of a Child

“…Blood-filled cysts (BFCs) are rare benign tumours mainly reported as cardiac tumours. 1 Since primary cardiac valve tumours are very uncommon, autopsy studies have provided much of the current detailed information available in the literature. 2 , 3 Numerous parameters—such as tumour classification, location size, growth rate and susceptibility to embolise—affect the overall clinical presentation.…”
