conclusions unfortunately the tumor was unresectable and just an incisional biopsy was performed. she received chemotherapy as palliative care. case presentation we presented a 56-year-old woman admitted to our center with lung emboli symptoms. transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography (tte and tee) demonstrated very large size (more than 10 cm diameter) multilobulated mass with mobile...

Between I 9H I and 1993,30 cases of primary cardiac tumors were diagnosed at the Imam Khomeini Hospital. 20 patients were female and 10 were male, with an average age of 32 years (ranging from 17 days to 65 years of age). The mean duration of symptoms before diagnosis was 6 months, with dyspnea and palpitation being the most common symptoms (60%) and cardiac' murmurs the most usual signs (...

Primary cardiac tumors are very rare. Cardiac sarcomas can be detected at any age, regardless of gender. At diagnosis, these mostly symptomatic and one-third metastatic. Undifferentiated pleomorphic account for 1.7% all tumors, typically localized in the left atrium, involve mitral valve. Here we present a case atrial undifferentiated sarcoma with myogenic differentiation that clinically radiol...

Central nervous system metastases as the presentation of primary cardiac sarcoma are a very rare entity, with only a few previously reported cases. Sarcomas specifically make up 10 to 20% of all primary cardiac tumors. Patients with primary cardiac tumors typically present with cardiac symptomatology that may include arrhythmias, obstruction to blood flow and valve function, or symptoms of hear...

background: understanding the differences in genetics of malignancies is crucial for therapeutic decisions. this systematic review was conducted to evaluate the current evidence on genetics of bone tumors in the context of pediatric cancer. material and methods: we performed a systematic review of the literature published on genetics of pediatrics bone tumors, using pubmed, google scholar, scie...

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...

Cardiac sarcomas are rare primary cardiac tumors. Because of the few reported cases and relatively poor prognosis of primary cardiac sarcomas, the metastatic potential and behavior of these tumors is not fully understood. In one reported case of cardiac sarcoma metastasizing to the brain (1), the primary tumor could not be resected because of the patient’s poor medical condition and the concurr...

Primary cardiac sarcomas are rare tumors with a median survival of 6-12 months. Data suggest that an aggressive multidisciplinary approach may improve patient outcome. We present the case of a male who underwent resection of cardiac sarcoma three times from the age of 32 to 34. This report discusses the malignant nature of cardiac sarcoma and the importance of postoperative multidisciplinary care.

introduction: malignant mesenchymal tumors of the larynx are rare. one type of malignant mesenchymal tumor is synovial sarcoma with unknown histogenesis, which occurs predominantly in the lower extremities of young adults. the head and neck region is a relatively rare location. there are few cases of malignant mesenchymal tumors with laryngeal localization in literature.  case report: in this r...
