摘要
背景:心包囊肿虽然罕见且为良性,但可根据其大小和在体内的位置表现出各种临床症状。这些囊肿的检测通常依赖于影像学检查来确诊,手术切除是最终的治疗方法:本病例报告详细描述了一名 32 岁伊朗妇女的临床过程,该妇女有乳腺癌和肺癌家族史,曾出现左侧胸痛。结合临床病史回顾、乳房 X 射线照相术、超声心动图和计算机断层扫描,患者被精确诊断为 10 厘米 × 3.5 厘米的心包囊肿。患者接受了胸骨正中切开术,完全切除了囊肿:虽然心包囊肿通常是无症状的良性囊肿,但也可能导致危及生命的并发症。因此,建议定期进行随访,在某些情况下,可能需要进行微创干预或手术。
Pericardial cyst unveiling: a case of unusual chest symptoms in a young woman with a family history of cancer: a case report and review of literature.
Background: Pericardial cysts, though rare and benign, can present with various clinical symptoms depending on their size and location in the body. The detection of these cysts typically relies on imaging studies for a conclusive diagnosis, with surgical removal being the definitive treatment.
Case presentation: This case report details the clinical journey of a 32-year-old Iranian woman with a family history of breast and lung cancer, who experienced left-sided chest pain. Utilizing a combination of clinical history review, mammography, echocardiography, and computed tomography, a precise diagnosis of a 10 cm × 3.5 cm pericardial cyst was achieved. The patient underwent median sternotomy for complete cyst excision.
Conclusions: While pericardial cysts are often asymptomatic and benign, they can lead to life-threatening complications. Hence, regular follow-up is advised, and in certain instances, minimally invasive interventions or surgery may be necessary.
