An Unusual Mass originates from the anterior tricuspid leaflet in an
adult patient: Blood-Filled Cyst
Abstract
Blood-filled cysts (BFCs) are considered benign and often asymptomatic,
most originate from congenital. However, BFCs of the heart valves are
common at autopsy in infants but rare in adults. We report the case of
an adult female who presented with a solitary complaint of chest
distress on exertion, which led to the discovery of an intracardiac
cystic mass on the anterior tricuspid leaflet. A single surgical
intervention was sufficient to remove the resected cystic mass. Our case
is the first to report a highly unusual blood-filled cyst on the
anterior tricuspid leaflet in an adult.
