Surgical resection of a cardiac lipoma of the right ventricle

AbstractIntracardiac teratomas are rare primary tumours. We report the case of an infant prenatally diagnosed with an isolated multi-cystic mass developed in the right ventricle causing neonatal refractory ventricular arrhythmia. Despite rescue extracorporeal support and partial surgical resection, he died as almost all the previous reported perinatal intracardiac teratomas whatever the prenatal tolerance and the size of the tumour. The common poor outcome of fetal intracardiac teratomas should be known when counselling parents during pregnancy.

Abstract Benign primary cardiac tumours are rare, with lipomas accounting for <9% of them. Their presentation varies depending on the size and location of the tumour, with the majority of the cases being asymptomatic. We are presenting a case of an extremely rare primary heart-tumour infiltrating the right ventricle (RV) compromising its function. RV lipomas are so unusual that there are no clear treatment guidelines. In this case, we decided to treat the patient with surgical resection of the tumour. Although a total resection was not possible, due to the tumoural proximity to vital structures, a great portion of the tumour was removed, alleviating the patient’s symptoms.

Primary cardiac angiosarcoma is a rare tumor, and surgical resection is often required to relieve its symptoms. A 54-year-old male with a large primary cardiac angiosarcoma is described in this case report. The tumor was located in the right atrium and right ventricle. The bulk was resected with the right coronary artery (RCA), and partial right atrium and partial right ventricle resections were performed during cardiopulmonary bypass. The resected tumor measured 15 x 10 x 8 cm, and the histopathological diagnosis was well differentiated primary cardiac angiosarcoma. In the postoperative period, the patient was followed up for 22 months, and radiotherapy and chemotherapy were performed for metastases. The optimal therapy for cardiac angiosarcoma is still controversial, but combined treatment including surgical resection should be considered.

Abstract Herein, we present the case of a 66-year-old man with an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour. An inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour is an extremely rare entity, with only 60 cases having been reported to date in the literature. The origin of this type of tumour is unknown and the treatment of choice is surgical resection. We present the surgical technique of our case and a review of the literature regarding this tumour. This is the first case described in a man above 60 years of age with a tumour located in the right ventricle.

Metastatic tumors to the heart include lymphomas, sarcoma, leukemia, and melanoma. Of these, metastatic melanoma is the most common, and are usually hematogenous, where metastatic lesions can be present in the left ventricle, right atrium, and/ or the right ventricle. We present an atypical metastatic melanoma pattern, where cardiac metastasis originated by direct extension from the adjacent gastric mesentery. We also present our trans-cardiac resection approach, which was the safest way to access the cardiac metastasis intra-operatively without disrupting the tumor.
