Abstract
AbstractCardiac malignancies in children are extremely rare and they with hypereosinophilia are rather relatively uncommon. The majority of individuals may survive over the long term even with heart tumors provided they don't have any significant symptoms and their hemodynamics are unaffected. But we should nevertheless be aware of them, especially when they are coupled with persistent hypereosinophilia and the development of a hemodynamic anomaly. The case of a malignant heart tumor with hypereosinophilia in a 13-year-old girl is presented in this paper. She exhibited an echocardiographic deficit and a heart murmur. Additionally, it was difficult to treat her hypereosinophilia. Nevertheless, it was resolved the day after the operation. We presume that there is a certain relationship between them. This study gives clinicians a wide range of options for analyzing the connections between malignancy and hypereosinophilia.
