Since 1966 the authors have encountered nine @entity4617 : eight @entity3291 and one @entity5 initially thought to be a @entity242 but histologically a @entity957 . Seven @entity3291 were left atrial and the other were right atrial in location. The @entity189 was predominantly located in the right ventricle. Eight of the nine @entity1 were female; ages ranged from 32 to 85 years. Of the @entity3291 , five displayed @entity221 and @entity1353 , two @entity712 and one transient @entity63 episodes. The @entity1 with @entity189 was in @entity712 . All @entity1 underwent cardiac catheterization as well as echocardiography when it became available. @entity3291 were correctly diagnosed preoperatively while three were thought to have @entity4794 . The @entity1 with @entity189 showed a large right ventricular filling defect and a picture of constriction. All @entity3291 @entity1 underwent surgery--three via left thoracotomy and five via sternotomy. Seven @entity1 survived; however, the @entity1 with right @entity4615 was explored via the left chest for @entity4794 and the @entity3291 was not discovered. She died of a @entity1151 pathologically confirmed as @entity3291 . All survivors have been followed by yearly echocardiograms and are free of recurrence. The @entity1 with @entity189 died before surgery could be performed. Autopsy revealed almost complete replacement of the right ventricle by @entity5 and @entity3822 . The terminal event was @entity957 . Although @entity4617 are a rare entity, a high incidence of suspicion plus modern diagnostic methods can yield the diagnosis and allow a curative operation.
