Key result
Surgical resection and right coronary artery bypass grafting successfully treated an isolated cardiac paraganglioma in a young woman, with normal scintigraphy at 2-month follow-up.
Case Report (n=1)
Multimodality imaging is effective for the preoperative evaluation and successful surgical management of isolated cardiac paragangliomas.
Supports feasibility of resection for isolated cardiac paraganglioma; leaves open questions on genetic screening and long-term outcomes.
This report involves a young woman with isolated cardiac paraganglioma that was diagnosed using 68Gallium-labeled [1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid]-1-NaI3-octreotide positron emission tomographic scintigraphy. For the preoperative evaluation, multimodality imaging accurately described the anatomic location of the tumor and its relationship with the surrounding tissues. The patient underwent successful surgical resection of the tumor along with right coronary artery bypass grafting. The 2-month follow-up scintigraphy was normal. Next-generation sequencing evaluation revealed a novel germline mutation for the succinate dehydrogenase subunit B gene.
