Background Cardiac tumors are rare, with estimated prevalence of 0.002-0.3% at autopsy. Symptoms and prognosis of cardiac tumors depend on size, location, and intrinsic aggressiveness. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is non-invasive and offers unsurpassed soft-tissue characterization. In this study, we sought to examine the CMR imaging of various cardiac tumors and identify radiologic ...

background: cardiac risk assessment with myocardial perfusion imaging (mpi) is a common practice for some elderly breast cancer patients who are candidates for operation. in rare cases the tumor may become visible in the images. case presentation: this is the report of a case with a huge slow-growing breast tumor suspicious for malignancy and presenting with methoxy-isobutyl-isonitrile (mibi) u...

Cardiac myxomas are rare benign tumors in childhood. They most commonly occur left atrium. Irregular surface of atrial is associated with a high risk embolic events. The majority cardiac myxoma patients diagnosed symptoms. In the literature, there limited number case reports on neurological symptoms childhood which after detailed examination. We present 16-year-old female patient who presented ...

BACKGROUND The use of new imaging techniques has contributed significantly to earlier diagnosis and treatment of cardiac tumors. OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to analyze data from children with cardiac tumors in terms of clinical presentation, the role of noninvasive diagnostic procedures and the long-term outcome. MATERIAL AND METHODS The data analyzed retrospectively concerned 30 ch...

Cardiac tumors are rare, and multiple myxomas are even rarer. The latter phenomenon is mostly associated with the Carney complex, a dominantly inherited disease characterized by multiple primary cardiac myxomas, endocrinopathy, and spotty pigmentation of the skin. We report the rare case of a patient who did not have the Carney complex but had multiple primary cardiac tumors. A 78-year-old woma...

The majority of cardiac tumors are metastatic neoplasms, but primary cardiac tumors are also an important cause of patient morbidity and mortality and occur in 3/1000 of all individuals. About half of primary cardiac tumors and 75% of benign primary cardiac tumors are myxomas. Lipomas, rhabdomyomas, and fibromas make up the majority of the remaining benign tumors. This work describes the clinic...

Cardiac tumors are a rare entity, comprised of tumors with diverse histology and natural history. We report the clinical characteristics, echocardiograhic findings, therapy and outcome of 59 patients with primary and metastatic cardiac tumors. Our institutional echocardiogram data base from 1993 through 2005 was reviewed to identify patients diagnosed with intra-cardiac tumor. A total of 59 pat...

The purpose of this article is to provide a current review of the spectrum of multidetector CT (MDCT) and MRI findings for a variety of cardiac neoplasms. In the diagnosis of cardiac tumors, the use of MDCT and MRI can help differentiate benign from malignant masses. Especially, the use of MDCT is advantageous in providing anatomical information and MRI is useful for tissue characterization of ...

UNLABELLED We present a 74-year-old male with a chondrosarcoma, who presented with chest pain. The history, electrocardiogram (ECG), and biomarkers established the diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI); angiography did not show coronary atherosclerosis and, both initial transthoracic echocardiogram and chest computed tomography (CT), did not demonstrate any cardiac abnormalities. A second ech...
