Pulmonary valve cyst mimicking pulmonary artery neoplasia: a case report
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 January 2013
Abstract
Cardiac valve cysts are rare beyond infancy. The tricuspid and mitral valve are the most common sites, with few reported cases of pulmonary valve cysts in the literature. This case illustrates a pulmonary valve cyst mimicking a tumour in a child 13 years after cardiac surgery. Although these lesions are extremely rare, they could be considered in the differential diagnosis in patients presenting with valvular mass lesions.
