Cardiac myxomas are the most frequently encountered tumors of the heart. However, they are unusual to be newly diagnosed in the geriatric population. Myxomas are among the great mimickers, with a myriad of clinical presentations related to heart failure, embolic events, and constitutional symptoms. We describe a rare case of a giant atrial myxoma in a nonagenarian presenting with heart failure, which was medically managed.

Introduction: Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a fatal tumor, though primary cardiac is very rarely encountered. In this report, we evaluated the surgical and medical management of primary cardiac LMS, which is a sporadic tumor.Case Presentation: A 60-year-old female patient was examined for pulmonary edema after penicillin allergy in May 2019, while transthoracic echocardiography (ECHO) revealed an appearance compatible with a 5x3.5 cm mass in the right atrium. In addition, transesophageal ECHO showed a 7x4.6 cm foreground mass compatible with a myxoma in the right atrium (RA). The patient was then operated on emergency. Besides, an adjuvant ifosfamide-mesna-doxorubicine (IMA) protocol was planned to be given to the patient after local radiotherapy.Conclusions: In this report presented, we made RT and chemotherapy treatment plans in the case of recurrence without R0 surgery. Recurrence rates of up to 50% can occur in LMS, and systemic chemotherapy can be applied after relapse

A female patient presented with severe, symptomatic multivessel spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) with no known medical history or risk factors. The affected vessels were left anterior descending artery (LAD), right coronary artery (RCA), and the ramus. She was treated with conservative medical management. Two months later, repeat coronary angiogram to evaluate for any residual disease was performed which showed near-complete resolution of all involved vessels.
