“…The clinical symptoms are mostly caused by compression or obstruction, and some patients may have dyspnoea on exertion (5/28) [ 12 , 17 , 18 , 23 ], chest pain (4/28) [ 3 , 7 , 8 , 19 ], shortness of breath (4/28) [ 3 , 7 , 10 , 24 ], palpitation (2/28) [ 15 , 20 ], arrhythmia (2/28) [ 8 , 10 ] and other discomfort. More than one third of patients (10/28) [ 4 – 6 , 9 , 14 , 16 , 21 – 23 ] had no related symptoms. Our case was hospitalised because of syncope, which is rarely reported in literature.…”

Background Primary cardiac schwannoma remains extremely rare and difficult to distinguish from other myocardial tumours. We report a case of cardiac schwannoma that occurred in the lateral wall of the right ventricle and grew in the myocardial walls. It is the third case of schwannoma that occurred in the free wall of the right ventricle. Moreover, we reviewed and summarised the literature for cases involving benign cardiac schwannomas. Case presentation We present a case of a 64-year-old woman who presented to our centre with syncope for 1–2 min. Echocardiogram and contrast-enhanced computed tomography subsequently revealed a 2.9 × 1.9 cm homogeneous mass originating from the anterior wall of the right ventricle. The patient underwent thoracotomy to resect the mass, which was pathologically verified as Schwann cell tumour. Conclusions This is a rare case added to the limited existing literature on cardiac schwannoma. Comprehensive analysis of various imaging examinations is helpful to determine the extent of the tumour. Complete surgical resection is recommended for similar cases involving cardiac schwannomas, especially when the patient has related symptoms. Patients generally have a good prognosis. The pathogenesis of cardiac schwannoma needs further research in order to prevent and manage this rare lesion.

A 57-year-old male presented with dyspnea and an enlarged cardiac silhouette on a chest X-ray. Further evaluation with contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a giant heterogeneous mediastinal mass, ~8.9 × 7.3 × 12.2 cm, with peripheral calcifications. Surgical resection was performed via a left thoracotomy approach using the left fifth intercostal space. Cardiopulmonary bypass was established through the femoral vessels for safer and more controlled resection. The tumor, contiguous with the left atrium, was successfully excised using two Endo GIA staplers. Pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of schwannoma. This case demonstrates that the left thoracotomy approach with cardiopulmonary bypass and the use of Endo GIA staplers is a feasible and effective option for resecting large, well-defined cardiac schwannomas.
