Multimodality imaging can help to doubt, diagnose and follow-up cardiac mass.

ABSTRACT: Primary cardiac lymphoma is a very rare form of lymphoma primarily or mainly involving the heart, as in the two cases presented in this report. Various imaging modalities, including coronary computed tomography angiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography were useful for the characterization and diagnosis of cardiac mass. Pathologic confirmation was successful with endomyocardial biopsy under echocardiographic guidance, intra- and extracardiacally. In primary cardiac lymphoma, diagnosis using multiple modalities may be useful for mass characterization, and for response monitoring after chemotherapy.

Case report: multimodality imaging to diagnose cardiac diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Project description:BackgroundPrimary cardiac lymphoma (PCL) is rare and can present with a wide variety of clinical symptoms, frequently leading to a delay in diagnosis.Case summaryWe report a case of a PCL in an 81-year-old man. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging showed multiple masses in the right atrium and a mass in the right ventricular outflow tract extending to the pulmonary artery. Biopsy revealed a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The patient also had metastases to the liver and lung on the positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) scan. He was treated with R-CHOP chemotherapy, with complete remission documented PET-CT scans.ConclusionAlthough most patients with PCL die before chemotherapy can be initiated, a timely diagnosis can result in a favourable outcome.

Pathological Correlation of a Cardiac Mass with Multimodality Imaging

Project description:Cardiac masses are rarely encountered in clinical practice and can lead to severe hemodynamic consequences. In addition to clinical cues, noninvasive modalities can play an important role in characterization of these masses and therefore their diagnosis and management planning. Here in this case report, we describe the use of various forms of noninvasive imaging techniques to narrow the differential diagnosis and form an operative plan for a cardiac mass later identified as a benign myxoma originating from the right ventricle on histological examination.

Cardiac mass causing pulmonary hypertension: Dilemma resolved with multimodality imaging.

Project description:Myxoma, the most common cardiac tumor is known to cause mitral valve obstruction and right heart failure with pulmonary hypertension. Patients with this condition often present with dyspnea, peripheral edema, and other signs of right heart failure. Pulmonary hypertension secondary to mitral valve obstruction presents unique difficulties in diagnosis as opposed other secondary causes such as thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. Multimodality imaging with MRI, CT, and echocardiography can help resolve this dilemma. This case report serves to elucidate the important role of multimodality imaging in the management of patients with such a presentation. We also demonstrate in our case report how surgical removal can be curative by relieving mitral valve obstruction and thereby reversing pulmonary hypertension.

Multimodality cardiac imaging for management of a cardiac mass in the era of COVID-19: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundAtrial myxomas are the most common benign cardiac tumours. This case highlights an unusual presentation and complex management of a patient who was incidentally found to have a left atrial tumour concerning for a myxoma.Case summaryA 54-year-old-woman presented with symptoms of nausea and vomiting and was found to have a left atrial mass incidentally in addition to a renal infarct. She was also found to have COVID-19 and the mass was initially thought to be a thrombus. With the help of multimodality imaging, it was determined that the mass was an atrial myxoma and she was started on short-term anticoagulation to prevent recurrent embolization. After 6 weeks of anticoagulation, she successfully underwent elective resection of the mass which was confirmed to be myxoma with superimposed thrombus.DiscussionIt is difficult to differentiate cardiac tumours from intracardiac thrombus and multimodality cardiac imaging is crucial to make an accurate diagnosis. While the treatment of atrial myxomas involves early surgical resection, it becomes more complicated with concurrent COVID-19 infection.

Multimodality Imaging of a Silent Cardiac Hemangioma.

Project description:A 74-year-old man underwent echocardiographic exam for hypertension screening. A fixed plurilobulated mass originating from the right ventricular lateral wall and occupying half of the cavity was incidentally diagnosed. On cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) it appeared homogeneous, intermediate-to-high signal on T1-weighted, and diffusely hyperintense on T2-weighted images. First pass enhancement was late and heterogeneous and no late gadolinium enhancement was present. Computed tomography (CT) showed no extracardiac infiltration, the feeding artery was a branch of therightcoronary artery. The tumor was excised and histological examination demonstrated a hemangioma of the cavernous type. The postoperative course was uneventful. From 1998 to 2014, four cardiac hemangiomas have been diagnosed in our Department, accounting for 8.7% of all primary cardiac tumors and for 9.5% of all benign forms; estimated population prevalence was 0.11/100.000 inhabitants/year. The hemodynamic consequences of unoperated cardiac hemangiomas cannot be predicted and therefore, resection is recommended.

Cardiac Paraganglioma: Multimodality Imaging of a Rare Tumor.

Project description:Paragangliomas are rare tumors of chromaffin cells arising from an extra-adrenal location. Unlike pheochromocytomas, they are seldom functional. We present a case of pericardial paraganglioma incidentally encountered on an echocardiographic study, focusing on the characteristic features the tumor demonstrates on different imaging modalities.
