Abstract

We report a case of a resection of very large intracavitary metastatic malanoma causing obstruction of the right ventricular inflow and outflow tract of the heart. A 49-year-old woman with dyspnea and generalized edema was seen. Echocardiography reveal an intra cavitary mass occupying the entire right ventricle and pericardial effusion. The lesion was palliatively resected using a cardiopulmonary bypass and was confirmed as a malignant melanoma. The patient is alive and improved symptomatically 30days after the operation.

저자는 심장의 우심실내에 입구와 출구를 막는 커다란 전이성 흑색종 1례를 수술치험하였기에 보고한다. 49세 여자환자로 호흡곤란과 전신부종의 증상을 보였다. 심초음파상 우심실내에 커다란 종괴와 심낭액을 보 였다. 심폐 체외순환후 심실내 종괴를 제거하였고, 악성 흑색종으로 판명되었다. 환자는 수술후 30일 현재 양호하다.
