We report the case of a patient with a giant right atrial myxoma that remained clinically silent until it almost completely obliterated the right atrium, prolapsed into the right ventricle and obstructed the tricuspid valve inflow. This case illustrates the importance of rapid surgical intervention in the setting of acute heart failure caused by tumor masses obliterating heart valves or cardiac chambers.

Abstract Löffler endocarditis with hypereosinophilic syndrome is rare but can cause critical ventricular obliteration by endomyocardial fibrosis. A 52-year-old woman experienced severe right heart failure with extreme shrinkage of her right ventricle, severe tricuspid regurgitation and marked right atrial enlargement. Preoperative tests showed identical pressures in the right atrium and pulmonary artery. Endocardial stripping was done, and to enlarge the right ventricle, we relocated the anterior and posterior tricuspid leaflets cephalad, up the right atrium wall, to ‘ventricularize’ a portion of the right atrium, with autologous pericardial augmentation of the tricuspid leaflets. An annuloplasty ring was added to reinforce the relocated tricuspid attachment. Right heart pressures normalized postoperatively. The patient recovered uneventfully. She has received corticosteroid therapy continuously and has shown no recurrence of heart failure in the 5 years since surgery.

Uncommon Location

Primary intracardiac tumors are rare and approximately 50-55% are myxomas. The majority of myxomas are located in the left atrium. Here We report a case of a large myxoma in the right atrium, which is an uncommon location for this type of tumor who underwent operative intervention with excision of a 9x6 cm multilobulated mass. In this case report, we emphasize the rarity of large myxomas in the right atrium and the difficulty of differential diagnosis given their dimension and location.

Abstract A 68-year-old man was admitted to the hospital with complaints of pain in the lumbar spine. He had L5 disc herniation, Spinal stenosis of the L5 root canal - S1 on the right in the past medical history. Percutaneous vertebroplasty at the level of L3 and Th8 vertebral bodies was performed six months ago due to painful vertebral hemangioma. The man is suffering from arterial hypertension, receives antihypertensive therapy. During routine transthoracic echocardiography, a hyperechoic structure with a size of 9.5 x 0.9 cm was found in the right atrium and right ventricle. Chest computed tomography with contrast enhancement revealed signs of bone cement in the right atrium and right ventricle, in the right upper lobe artery, in the branches of the upper lobe artery, in the paravertebral venous plexuses. Considering the duration of the disease, the stable condition, the absence of clinical manifestations and disorders of intracardiac hemodynamics, it was decided to refrain from surgical treatment. Antiplatelet therapy and dynamic observation were recommended. Conclusion Percutaneous vertebroplasty is a modern minimally invasive surgical procedure for the treatment of degenerative-dystrophic diseases of the spine. However, the cement can penetrate into the paravertebral veins and migrate to the right chambers of the heart and the pulmonary artery. This clinical case demonstrates asymptomatic cement embolism of the right chambers of the heart and pulmonary artery after percutaneous vertebroplasty, detected incidentally during routine echocardiography.

Introduction. Myxoma is the most common primary benign heart tumor. The most frequent location is the left atrium, the chamber of the heart that receives oxygen- rich blood from the lungs. Myxomas usually develop in women, typically between the ages of 40 and 60. Symptoms may occur at any time, but most often they are asymptomatic or oligosymptomatic for a long period of time. Symptoms usually go along with body position, and are related to compression of the heart cavities, embolization and the appearance of general symptoms. The diagnosis of benign tumors of the heart is based on anamnesis, clinical features and findings of the tumor masses by use of non-invasive and invasive imaging methods. Extensive surgical resection of the myxoma is curative with minimal mortality. Long term clinical and echocardiographic follow-up is mandatory. Case report. We reported a case of a 62-year-old male, presented with 15 days of intermittent shortness of breath, dizziness and feeling of heart palpitations and subsequently diagnosed with right atrial myxoma based on transthoracic echocardiography . The patient was emergently operated in our hospital. Long-term followup did not reveal recurrence. Conclusion. Our case was an atypical localisation of right atrial myxoma. Whether the intracardiac mass is benign or malignant, early surgery is obligatory in order to prevent complications.
