Primary cardiac tumors are rare and most frequently benign. The common primary myxomas. Early clinical symptoms can resemble different cardiovascular systemic diseases. heterogeneity in their presentation is due to the localization of myxomas structural characteristics. In cases an echocardiographic examination sufficient establish diagnosis. diagnosis referral for surgery prevent debilitating ...

BACKGROUND Left atrial thrombi are mostly related to mitral valve disease. The differential diagnosis of clots and myxomas in the left atrium is mostly based on echocardiography. Infection of intracardiac thrombi is extremely rare and mostly reported in ventricular clots or aneurysms following myocardial infarction. CASE PRESENTATION We present the case of a 65 year old female with a history ...

the budd–chiari syndrome (bcs) is a rare disorder caused by the obstruction of the hepatic veins or the inferior vena cava (ivc) at the suprahepatic level. this syndrome is developed by either hepatic vein thrombosis or mechanical venous obstruction and leads to centrilobular hepatic congestion with the subsequent development of fibrosis and cirrhosis. intracardiac tumors have been rarely repor...

Carney complex is an autosomal dominant syndrome characterized by multiple neoplasias, including myxomas at various sites and endocrine tumors, and lentiginosis. The genetic defect(s) responsible for the complex remain(s) unknown. We studied 101 subjects, including 51 affected members, from 11 North American kindreds with Carney complex. Blood samples were collected from patients and their fami...

Neoangiogenesis is involved in the development and progression of malignant tumors. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptors have been designated a central part in this process. Since the significance of the assessment of angiogenesis in soft tissue tumors is still a matter of debate, we investigated the vascularisation of cardiac myxomas and compared it with pulmonary artery...

Carney’s complex is a syndrome first described in 1985 and is characterized by the presence of myxomas, skin hyperpigmentation, and endocrine overactivity. It is a rare autosomal dominant disease with variable expressivity of which approximately 600 cases have been reported worldwide. Although it has been related to two different genetic loci, inactivating mutations in the PRKAR1A are found in ...

BACKGROUND Cardiac myxoma is the most common primary cardiac tumor. Approximately 75-80% of myxomas are located in the left atrium. Occurrence of multiple myxomas is extremely rare. CASE PRESENTATION We describe a rare case of biventricular myxomas resulting in right ventricular inflow and tricuspid valve obstruction. The lesions were detected by echocardiography and thoracic computerized tom...

BACKGROUND/AIM Myxoma is the most common benign primary cardiac neoplasm, and usually originates from the left atrial septum. Early diagnosis of cardiac myxomas depends on a high index of a clinical suspicion. Surgical management must be done as soon as possible after diagnosis. The aim of this retrospective study was to present diagnostics and treatment outcome data of 61 patients with cardiac...

provided the original work is properly cited. CC Cardiac tumors, which are characterized by very a low prevalence of approximately 0.02% based on pooled data, can cause considerable morbidity and mortality due to cardiac conduction abnormalities, embolization of the tumor fragment or associated thrombus, or intra-cardiac obstructions [1]. Primary cardiac tumors are usually benign in adults, wit...
