Abstract
Primary cardiac paragangliomas are rare heart tumors that originate from the neural crest. We report a case of successful surgical treatment of a noncatecholamine-producing cardiac paraganglioma in a 25-year-old white male patient with dyspnea on exertion and intermittent palpitations. Echocardiography revealed solid 4.6- × 4.3-cm tumor mass located in close relation to the left and right atria. A magnetic resonance image of the heart demonstrated the solid tumor mass adjacent mainly to the right atrium and in part to the left atrium with an early and strong arterial uptake of the contrast medium (see arrow in Fig 1).
