An Unusual Cardiac Metastasis: Right Atrial Chondrosarcoma Diagnosed With Multimodality Cardiac Imaging.

ABSTRACT: Highlights•Metastatic cardiac tumors are about 20 times more common than primary cardiac tumors.•Metastatic CS to the myocardium has only rarely been described in case reports.•Cardiac masses are differentiated by clinical context, location, and imaging appearance.•CMR is considered the gold standard in cardiac imaging, but TEE was key in this case.

Multimodality Imaging Reveals Divergent Responses of Left and Right Heart to Treatment in Cardiac Amyloidosis.

Project description:Cardiac amyloidosis is associated with very high morbidity and mortality. Only if treated early, cardiac amyloidosis responds well to therapy, and early recognition with a full differential diagnostic workup including multimodality imaging is therefore critical at first presentation. Closely meshed clinical monitoring and imaging are indispensable to ensure optimal individualized treatment. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.).

Right atrial myxoma: Unusual location; uncommon association.

Project description:We are presenting a case of the right atrial myxoma found in a case of rheumatic heart disease. During transthoracic echocardiography for the evaluation of a suspected rheumatic valvular heart disease, a diagnosis of severe mitral stenosis with severe mitral regurgitation with the right atrial thrombus was made. On transesophageal echocardiography, a pedunculated mass in the right atrium was confirmed. In the course of surgery, it was found that there is a tumor originating from the right atrial appendage (RAA) which was confused with clot on echocardiography. Rheumatic heart disease and myxomas have different etiopathogenesis, and this coexistence has not been reported. Further, right atrial myxoma arising out of RAA is also being reported for the first time.

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.
