Metastatic sarcoma : a rare case of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a patient with cardiac involvement by a metastatic high-grade pleomorphic sarcoma. The tumor metastasized to the endocardium of the left ventricle as well as the lungs, adrenal glands, and thoracolumbar spine. The sarcoma obstructed the left ventricular outflow tract. Approximately 5 months after diagnosis, despite chemotherapy, our patient died suddenly. The exact cause of death is unknown, but presumably cardiac in origin.

We report a rare case of progressive left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction after percutaneous device closure of a mechanical prosthetic mitral valve (MV) paravalvular leak (PVL) in the region of aortomitral curtain in a patient who also had small mechanical aortic valve prosthesis with patient-prosthesis mismatch.
متن کاملA giant myxoma originating from the aortic valve causing severe left ventricular tract obstruction: a case report and literature review
INTRODUCTION The left ventricular localization of a myxoma is very rare, usually arising from the interventricular septum close to the left ventricular outflow tract, the mitral valve, the ventricular wall and extremely rarely the aortic valve. CASE PRESENTATION A 13-year-old male was admitted due to dyspnea and angina. Transesophageal echocardiography revealed left ventricular outflow tract ...
متن کاملUncommon cause of obstruction in the left ventricular outflow tract by a metastasis of adenocarcinoma
Cardiac metastases are rare diagnoses among cardiac disorders. This case demonstrates a unique presence of an obstruction in the left ventricular outflow tract caused by the metastasis of a renal carcinoma. Adequate diagnostic and therapeutic procedures were lifesaving in this potentially fatal diagnosis.
متن کاملA Case Report of left ventricle outflow tract (LVOT) Tumor in a 49 old day infant
Rhabdomyomata are probably the most common tumors that occur very rarely during infancy. In this paper, we report the case of a 49-day-old infant who was diagnosed by echocardiography examination with left ventricle outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction caused by rhabdomyoma. The infant underwent surgical approach, and her mass was shaved. Finally, she was discharged from hospital in good gener...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Metastasis From Renal Cell Carcinoma Causing Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction
Most cases of cardiac metastasis from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) involve the vena cava or right atrium. Left ventricular metastases from RCC without involving the vena cava or right atrium are extremely rare. Herein we report a case of RCC with left ventricular metastasis causing left ventricular outflow obstruction (LVOT).
