Clinical Features, Echocardiographic Findings, Management and Outcome in a Young Male Patient with Atrial Myxoma: A Rare Primary Cardiac Tumor

Primary cardiac tumors in pediatric are rare and mostly benign. Atrial Myxoma is the most common primary tumor of the heart, which is usually involved in the left atrium. Surgical treatment is recommended when the patients develop symptoms or hemodynamically is impaired. Cardiac Myxoma can cause left atrial obstruction and systemic embolization. So early diagnosis with surgical intervention is the definitive management of the tumor and should not be delayed. Here we present a case of a 23-year old male who admitted to the emergency department with syncope and dyspnea for 1day ago. The tumor was removed surgically; pathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of Myxoma.

Cardiac Papillary Fibroelastoma Result in Acute Left Main Coronary Artery Disease: A Case Report

Background: Cardiac papillary fibroelastoma is a rare, benign primary cardiac tumor that remains asymptomatic. Severe complications have been reported in some cases. The only effective therapy is surgical excision. Case presentation: Here, we report a case of cardiac papillary fibroelastoma with the initial symptom of chest pain and a first diagnosis of acute left main coronary artery disease. This patient eventually underwent tumor excision surgery and recovered well. Conclusion: For patients with symptomatic cardiac papillary fibroelastoma, we provide a series of comprehensive data from before, during, and after surgery. This might be helpful for the future diagnosis and treatment of these tumors.

Neonatal infective endocarditis in a cardiac rhabdomyoma case: A rare presentation

Neonatal infective endocarditis (IE) is an exceedingly rare disease and usually not associated with cardiac rhabdomyomas or any underlying structural cardiac anomalies. Cardiac rhabdomyoma is also the most common benign primary cardiac tumor. The prognosis depends on the size, location of tumors, and outflow tract obstruction but can regress within 2 months of age and reduces the necessity of surgery. Due to the variable clinical features and course, we need to evaluate cardiac vegetation as soon as possible for better outcomes. A combination of these two conditions was not reported before. Here, we presented a case of IE with cardiac rhabdomyoma in a male baby which is first reported from Bangladesh previously.

Huge cardiac rhabdomyoma in neonate: an unusual presentation

Cardiac rhabdomyoma is the most common primary cardiac tumor in neonatal age group. A full term male neonate, whose antenatal ultrasound revealed mass in foetal heart, became symptomatic on day two of life. Echocardiography revealed pericardial mass with global left ventricular hypokinesia. Diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological examination of autopsy specimen. Due to social stigma, encouragement of the parents for clinical autopsy was of prime importance for definitive diagnosis and preventive measures in future pregnancies.

EXERTIONAL SYNCOPE IN A 38 YEARS OLD MAN

Cardiac myxoma is rare but the most common primary cardiac tumor amongst all cardiac tumors, and left atrial origin is nearly 80%. It is responsible for different constitutional symptoms, progressive dyspnea, and systemic embolization. In this report 38 years patients was admitted with exertional syncope, In investigation transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated large left atrial mass encroaching into left ventricle. The mass after operation was diagnosed as myxoma. This diagnosis is very important from the patient point of view as in undiagnosed may be the forerunner of systemic embolization in different parts of the body.

A Case Report : Cardiac Tumour Mimicking Heart Failure

Primary cardiac tumor are extremely rare. Incidence is approximately 0.017-0.019% of all primarytumor. An early diagnosis of cardiac tumor may improve the outcome. Bangladesh J Medicine July 2020; 31(2) : 111-113
