  • Title: A patient with an unusual cyst of the inter-atrial septum and atrial sepal defect.
    Author: Dong D, Zhu T, Yang X, Zhu J.
    Journal: Echocardiography; 2018 Jun; 35(6):876-879. PubMed ID: 29756329.
    Abstract:
    Hepatic and renal cysts are relatively common among healthy people, but there are few published reports of primary cysts of the atrial septum. Here, we report a case of an unusual cyst of the atrial septum accompanied by atrial septal defect (ASD) in a 42-year-old woman. Microscopic examination showed the deposition of calcium salts within the tissue mass and an organized thrombus surrounded by a fibrous capsule. The case was discussed with reference to the relevant published literature and compared to other documented types of atrial septal cysts. The final diagnostic conclusion was a primary atrial septal cyst.
