Heart failure and cancer are the deadliest diseases worldwide. Murine models for cardiac remodeling heart demonstrate that dysfunction promotes progression metastasis spread. Yet, no information is available on whether how tumor affects remodeling. Here, we examined following transverse aortic constriction (TAC) in presence or absence of proliferating cells. We show tumor-bearing mice, two diff...

We report a rare case of dyspnea caused by a cardiac tumor in a 53-year-old woman. The patient had undergone a cardiac tumor (inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor, 6.2 × 4.2 × 3.3 cm) resection at our institute 13 months earlier. We performed preoperative evaluations which revealed a cardiac tumor originating from the posterior wall of the left atrium. Cardiac autotransplantation surgery (cardiac...

tuberous sclerosis complex (tsc) is an autosomal-dominant hereditary disorder. this syndrome is characterized by tumor-like malformations in several organs, as well as the heart. this report summarizes a case of tsc in a premature infant, born at 34 weeks' gestation with ascites. after birth, multiple cardiac mass, subependymal cysts and hypopigmented macules were detected. to our knowledge, th...

epidermal nevus syndrome is a rare congenital disorder, characterized by epidermal nevi and multiple organ involvement. multicystic kidney disease has been very rarely reported in this syndrome. here is the report of a boy presented with multiple epidermal nevi, cardiac anomaly, seizure attack, hemi hypertrophy, and multicystic dysplastic kidney complicated with wilms' tumor. according to this ...

Cardiac angiosarcoma is a rare primary cardiac tumor. Outcomes of minimally invasive resection are rarely reported in the literature
 A male patient aged 28 years old presented with right atrial mass compressing superior vena cava and associated pericardial effusion. Pericardiocentesis was done, preoperative workup revealed no distant metastasis. We planned excision through mini-thoracotom...

We present a case of 47-year-old man who was admitted to the cardiac surgery department with clinical picture heart failure and multiple Tu-formations in three cavities. He underwent extraction tumor formations from cavities an excellent outcome.

objectives this study aimed at reviewing the current literature on the diagnosis, staging, and different treatment strategies for wilms’ tumor with either ureteral or intravascular extension. evidence acquisition in this article, we reviewed the current literature about staging, diagnosis, and management strategies for wt, through a randomized clinical trial, which focused on this matter. the m...

cystic hygroma (ch) in the cervical region presents as a challenge to the anesthetist. the anaesthetic difficulties are usually associated with ch because of tumor extension into the mouth, airway management, thoracic extension, hemorrhage, involvement of pretracheal region, post operative respiratory obstruction and coexisting anomalies (down syndromes, turner syndromes and congenital cardiac ...

Cardiac masses are rare entities categorized as either neoplastic or non-neoplastic. We present a case of cardiac mass from the inferior vena cava (IVC) extending to right atrium, ventricle and pulmonary artery that was diagnosed by computed tomography (CT), transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging. Differential diagnosis atrial includes myxoma, thro...
