| Popis: |
A case of congenital complete heart block caused by a tumor involving the atrioventricular (A-V) node is presented. The patient had had Stokes-Adams attacks from age 3 years until her death at age 19. The morphologic features and developmental origin of the tumor discovered at autopsy are discussed, and a heterotopic epithelial origin from the primitive foregut is favored. Although rare, this lesion should be considered an etiologic possibility when complete heart block is present in a young person. |
