multimodality imaging of a cardiac angiosarcoma

introduction while primary malignant tumors of the heart are rare, angiosarcomas are the most common cardiac malignant tumors. case presentation we describe a 23-year-old woman who presented with a right atrial mass, which was discovered to be a cardiac angiosarcoma. we demonstrate the use of several noninvasive imaging modalities along with pathology confirmation for the definitive and compreh...

Multimodality cardiac imaging.

[Primary cardiac lymphoma: diagnosis by transjugular biopsy].

Primary cardiac lymphoma, defined as a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma involving only the heart and pericardium, is an extremely rare malignancy. It should be suspected in patients with a heart mass and heart failure, unexplained refractory pericardial effusion or rhythm disturbances. Transvenous intracardiac tumor biopsy under fluoroscopic or transesophageal echocardiographic guidance, is a minimally i...
