A Rare Septal Hamartoma of Mature Cardiac Myocytes Manifesting With Cardiac Cachexia in a Teenager. Annals of thoracic surgery short reports Kang, A., Wang, H., Hiesinger, W., Berry, G. J., Boyd, J. H. 2023; 1 (3): 447-450

Abstract

Hamartomas of mature cardiac myocytes are a rare type of primary cardiac tumor, with only 5 cases of interventricular septal involvement reported to date. They are often challenging to diagnose, and there is currently no standardized approach to surgical resection. Here, we present a rare case of a large 6.0 Ã— 4.4 Ã— 3.8-cm interventricular septal hamartoma that manifested with cardiac cachexia in a teenage patient. Surgical biopsy was used after 4 attempts at endomyocardial biopsy were nondiagnostic, and partial debulking was performed as complete resection was not feasible.
