The clinical behavior of various types of thryroid tumor have been much studied during the past several decades, and the histologic features, surgical management, and prognostic factors of follicular and papillary tumors in particular have been clarified to a considerable degree. On the other hand, there is still controversy concerning management of Hurtle cell tumor (HCT) of the thyroid. HCT is not a common disease, making it impossible to obtain sufficient clinical data at a single institution. It has been reported that all HCT are aggressive and should be treated as malignant tumors. It is believed that an accurate differential diagnosis can be made between cancer and adenoma on the basis of pathological studies. We describe a patient with HCT of the thyroid extending into the right atrium. To our knowledge, after a Medline search, this is the first such case in the medical literature. The interesting features are described, and the relevant literature is briefly reviewed.

Vein Stenosis

Central venous stenosis or occlusion occurs in 11-50% of hemodialysis patients with prior subclavian vein cannulation and ipsilateral fistula or shunt. In these cases, endovascular intervention, including ballooning and stenting, is a feasible strategy for selected patents. We report an unusual case of a 60-year-old man on hemodialysis who underwent endovascular stenting for right brachiocephalic vein stenosis and experienced stent migration to the right atrium, requiring surgical treatment.

A 38-year-old woman had developed an abdominal distention, lower extremity edema, and dyspnea. Imaging examination revealed a large mass in the right atrium which was connected to lesions within the inferior vena cava. Although complete resection of the mass was not possible, partial surgical tumor resection was performed to avoid pulmonary embolization and circulatory collapse. Leiomyosarcoma was diagnosed histologically, and chemotherapy (doxorubicin) followed by radiotherapy was started. By reviewing papers published in the past 10 years that included 322 patients, we also discuss the clinical presentations and prognosis of leiomyosarcoma in the inferior vena cava.

The Masses

Uterine leiomyomatosis is a common disease in women; however, intravenous leiomyomatosis with intracaval and intracardiac tumor extension is rare. We sought to analyze the clinical and echocardiographic features of intracardiac leiomyomatosis. From January 2003 through July 2012, 7 women (age range, 24–59 yr) underwent surgical resection of histopathologically diagnosed intracardiac leiomyomas at our hospital. Most of the patients had histories of hysterectomy or uterine leiomyoma. We retrospectively analyzed their preoperative echocardiograms. We found that the tumors had no stalks, did not adhere to the wall of the right side of the heart, were highly mobile, and moved back and forth in the right atrium near the tricuspid orifice. All tumors originated from the inferior vena cava and had borders well demarcated from that structure's wall. Most of the masses extended into the inferior vena cava and right atrium through the right internal and common iliac veins. Computed tomograms revealed pelvic tumors and contiguous filling defects in 6 patients. When echocardiograms reveal a right-sided cardiac mass that originates from the inferior vena cava, particularly in women who have a history of hysterectomy or uterine leiomyoma, intracardiac leiomyomatosis should be suspected. If the mass has no stalk and freely moves within the inferior vena cava and right-sided cardiac chambers without attachment to the endothelial surface or endocardium, intracardiac leiomyomatosis should be diagnosed. We discuss our findings and briefly review the relevant medical literature.

Despite cardiac metastases are found in about 20% of cancer deaths, the presence of primary cardiac tumors is rare. Most primary tumors are benign, and malignant tumors comprise about 15%. We report a 21-year-old man with fever, dyspnea, and hemoptysis that was diagnosed with angiosarcoma of the right atrium and pulmonary metastasis. Patient was submitted to surgical tumor resection without adjuvant therapy and died four months after diagnosis.

Introduction. Metastases to the oral cavity are uncommon, accounting for only 1% of all oral malignant tumors. When they occur they mostly originate from primary tumors of the lungs, kidney, breast and prostate. Oral metastases from the primary colorectal carcinoma are much more infrequent. Case Outline. We present an unusual case of a 78-year-old man with a soft tissue oral metastasis originating from the primary colorectal carcinoma. The patient was referred to the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery with an intraoral mass on the right side of the maxilla. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopathologic examination and immunohistochemical analysis. Conclusion. Oral metastases occur rarely and often can mimic much more common benign lesions, therefore they should be considered as a possibility in a differential diagnosis.
