Cystic tumour of the atrioventricular nodal region, abbreviated CTAVNR, is a rare cardiac tumour that can lead to sudden cardiac death.

It is also known as cystic tumour of the atrioventricular node.

Benign mesothelioma of the atrioventricular node is also used; however, these tumours are not mesotheliomas.[1][2]

General

Clinical:[2]

  • Conduction abnormalities.
    • Complete heart block.
  • Usually women - mean age 38 years.

Treatment:

Gross

  • "Bump" in the triangle of Koch.
  • Usually 1-2 mm.
  • Cystic spaces - often not apparent at gross.
