    Author: Zhou J, Chen HT, Xiang J, Qu XH, Zhou YQ, Zang WF.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2009 Jul; 88(1):278-81. PubMed ID: 19559246.
    Abstract:
    Primary cardiac pheochromocytoma is an extremely rare neoplasm. We report a 15-year-old girl who was presented with paroxysmal hypertension. An iodine-131 metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy scanning showed a pheochromocytoma in her right atrial and ventricular wall. The tumor was subsequently confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging and coronary angiogram. This patient underwent a successful surgical resection of the tumor, a reconstruction of the atrial ventricular wall and right coronary artery bypass grafting. Her blood pressure remained normal thereafter. A follow-up coronary angiogram revealed a patent saphenous vein graft 4 months after the operation.
