First Reported Case of Intracardiac Kimura Disease
This is the first reported case of intracardiac Kimura disease, an inflammatory condition usually involving the head and neck. The working diagnosis for the right ventricular outflow tract mass was myxoma until final pathologic analysis was obtained. Our patient underwent surgical resection without steroids or radiation. Active surveillance with patient follow-up and surveillance echocardiography over 1 year demonstrated no recurrence.
