A Case of Isolated Cardiac Burkitt Lymphoma Causing Right-Sided Heart Failure.

Project description:Primary cardiac tumors are rare, as the most common cause of cardiac masses is from metastatic disease. In this article, a unique case of isolated cardiac Burkitt lymphoma causing right-sided heart failure in a 70-year-old man who presented to the emergency department with abdominal distension and lower-extremity swelling is described. The right ventricular mass was initially identified via computed tomographic scans of the abdomen and pelvis. Further workup included transthoracic echocardiogram and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging that showed extension of the mass into the right atrium and pericardium. Staging imaging and bone marrow biopsy revealed no evidence of metastatic disease. Cytology of the peritoneal fluid and biopsy of the right ventricular mass confirmed Burkitt lymphoma. The cardiac mass substantially decreased in size and the right-sided heart failure resolved after the initiation of chemotherapy, which highlights the importance of prompt diagnosis and treatment of Burkitt lymphoma.

Acute heart failure due to a giant left atrial myxoma: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundCardiac myxomas are the most common primary benign tumour of the heart. Most of them occur between the 4th and 6th decade of life, are most frequent in the woman, and most frequently localized in the left atrium.Case summaryWe present a case of a 41-year-old female who presented with a history of left-sided heart failure. A left atrial mass of 87 × 88 × 65 mm was documented by cardiac magnetic resonance. She was taken to surgical resection of the mass. Histopathologic findings were diagnostic of cardiac myxoma. Generally, myxomas that are bigger than 6 cm are associated with the worst prognosis.DiscussionPrimary cardiac tumours are mostly benign, being in 50% of the cases a cardiac myxoma. The rest of them correspond to papillary fibroelastoma (26%), fibromas (6%), lipomas (4%), and others including calcified tumours, haemangiomas, teratomas, cysts, and rhabdomyomas. Our clinical case illustrates an unusual and rare presentation of cardiac myxoma with a double mitral lesion.

Recurrent cardiac myxoma: A case report.

Project description:Cardiac myxomas are the most common benign tumors of the heart. They are most commonly found in the left atrium, followed by a right atrium and rarely in the left ventricle. Herein, we report a rare case of left ventricular myxoma in a patient who had twice undergone removal of left atrial myxoma. Complete removal of the tumor through aortotomy, without causing fragmentation led to the uneventful recovery of the patient.

Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and a rare case of an atrial myxoma causing an atrial septal defect.

Project description:A 40 year-old athletic woman presented with worsening dyspnea on exertion over the preceding several months. Chest radiograph showed borderline cardiomegaly and subsequent echocardiography demonstrated a 5.0-cm left atrial mass as well as left-to-right interatrial shunting through a patent foramen ovale. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging was performed, which demonstrated signal characteristics consistent with an atrial myxoma. The patient then underwent urgent surgical treatment with good technical and clinical outcome. Histologic examination confirmed an atrial myxoma. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging was valuable in characterizing the nature of the atrial mass and patent foramen ovale, helping guide the surgical approach.

Giant right ventricular myxoma presenting as right heart failure with systemic congestion: a rare case report.

Project description:BackgroundMyxoma is an uncommon disease and its symptoms vary greatly depending on size, location and mobility. Right-sided myxoma, especially right ventricular myxoma, is much rarer, and the symptoms are alien and uncharacteristic. The lack of understandings poses challenges to prompt diagnosis and timely treatment.Case presentationA 44-year-old female patient was diagnosed with giant right ventricular tumor. Right heart failure and systemic congestion caused by right ventricular outflow tract obstruction were observed on this case. Surgery was performed to excise the mass which was measured at 9.5 * 5.0 cm and confirmed as myxoma pathologically.ConclusionsRight-side myxoma is easy to be unnoticed due to its low incident rate and atypical symptoms. Delay in surgical intervention might cause unrecoverable complications. More comprehensive understanding of the symptoms is expected to help improving the diagnose and treat of right-sided myxoma.

A rapidly growing cardiac calcified amorphous tumour diagnosed after coronary artery bypass graft surgery: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundA cardiac calcified amorphous tumour (CAT) is a non-neoplastic intracavitary cardiac mass. The most serious complication is systemic embolism. Cardiac CATs tend to be surgically resected immediately after detection; therefore, its progress of growth is rarely reported.Case summaryAn 83-year-old Japanese woman received on-pump beating coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) for angina pectoris. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) performed preoperatively and 1 month postoperatively revealed the presence of mitral annular calcification, with no other abnormal findings. However, follow-up TTE performed 5 months after CABG revealed a mobile nodular mass (5.0 × 8.2 mm) in the left ventricular outflow tract. At 1 month after detection, the mass had enlarged to 5.0 × 13.0 mm. Transoesophageal echocardiography revealed that the pedunculated high-echoic mass was adhered to the posterior commissure of the mitral valve and was dynamically swinging towards the non-coronary cusp in the systolic phase. As the mass had grown rapidly in less than 6 months, it was surgically resected to prevent systemic embolism. The histological specimen consisted mainly of fibrin, including calcification and hemosiderin deposition, which lead to a diagnosis of cardiac CAT. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course during her hospital stay and had no evidence of recurrence for 1 year after discharge.DiscussionThis was a rare case in which a rapidly growing cardiac CAT was detected following on-pump CABG. Cardiac CATs may grow very rapidly and therefore early surgery should be considered after initial diagnosis.
