Villiform cardiac myxoma with atypical glandular differentiation in a young girl: a case report
摘要
Background
Cardiac myxoma with glandular differentiation is a rare finding. It accounts for approximately ≤ 3% of all cardiac myxomas. The presence of cellular atypia resembling adenocarcinoma is an extremely rare finding in cardiac myxoma.
Case presentationHere, we present a case of villiform cardiac myxoma with atypical glandular differentiation in a 16-year-old Indo-Aryan girl, which was initially mistaken as metastatic adenocarcinoma on routine histology.
ConclusionA thorough histopathological examination, supported by immunohistochemical and radiological correlation, assists in accurate diagnosis and concurrently evades the misdiagnosis of metastatic adenocarcinoma.
