Maryam Esmaeilzadeh et al.
Among primary cardiac tumors, hemangiomas are relatively rare with a reported incidence of 2.8%. To date, less than 100 cases are reported in literature. We present a 40-year-old woman with atypical chest discomfort of 1 month duration, pre...
Echocardiographic diagnosis of carcinoid disease: exceptional evolution after ovarian tumor resection without cardiac surgery [0.03%]
超声心动图诊断类癌综合征：卵巢肿瘤切除术后无心脏手术的罕见病程演化
