Abstract

Primary cardiac tumors are rare and about 20~25% of primary cardiac tumors are malignant. Moreover, primary malignant mesenchymoma of the heart is extremely rare. Recently, we have experienced two cases of cardiac malignant mesenchymoma. In the first case, malignant mesenchymoma which was originated from the posterior wall of the left atrium obstructing the mitral orifice was revealed pathologically in a 61-year-old woman with mitral regurgitation. The mass, which was 2.7$\times$3.7cm in size on the posterior wall of left atrium, was extended to the posteromedial commissure and annulus of the mitral valve. The mass was resected partially without excision of the left atrial free wall. She was discharged after 30 days without any problems and she received chemotherapy and followed up for 19months. The second case was a 4$\times$5cm in size, friable, yellow-whitish multilobulated mass in the left atrium which was originated from the left lower pulmonary vein. Multiple minor tumor nodules were found in the wall of the left atrium and the posterior leaflet of mitral valve. Partial mass excision and mitral valve replacement were performed.

원발성 심장 종양은 드물며 이들 중 20~25%에서 악성 종양이다. 더욱이 심장에서의 원발성 악성 간엽세포종은 극히 드문데, 최근 저자 등은 2례의 심장 악성 간엽세포종을 경험하였다. 첫 번째 예는 승모판 폐쇄부전증을 보인 61세의 여자환자로 승모판을 막고있는 좌심방의 후측벽에서 생긴 악성 간엽세포종이었다. 2.7$\times$3.7cm크기의 종괴는 승모판의 후내측 교련과 판륜까지 자라고 있었다. 좌심방의 벽측은 남긴채 종괴는 부분 절제하였다. 환자는 항암치료를 받고 30일 후에 별문제 없이 퇴원하였으며, 19개월 동안 외래 추적관찰 중이다. 두 번째 예는 좌측 하폐정맥에서 기원한 4$\times$5cm기의 약하고 연노란색의 다엽성의 종괴였다. 다른 작은 종양결절들이 좌심방의 벽과 승모판 후엽에서 발견되었다. 수술은 종양의 부분절제와 승모판막치환술을 시행하였다.
