Symptoma

Primary Cardiac Sarcoma

Malignant primary cardiac tumors are very rare.Desmoplastic small round cell tumors are also rare tumors and,when present, are generally found in the abdomen. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Congestive Heart Failure

    Clinical features The most common presentation of cardiac tumors is evidence of congestive heart failure due to obstruction and/or valvular insufficiency. [accesssurgery.mhmedical.com]

    Dyspnea is the commonest symptom in 60%, followed by chest pain in 28%, congestive heart failure in 28%, palpitations in 24%, fever in 14%, myalgia in 10% and embolism in 5%. [1] Although in adults cardiac tumors are mostly benign, 25% can be malignant [heartviews.org]

    Coronary artery diseases, congestive heart failure, valvular diseases, and arrhythmias are the primary etiologic causes. Cardiac neoplasms may have similar presentations but have been often overlooked because of rare occurrence. [indianjcancer.com]

    Complications due to Cardiac Myxosarcoma could include: Congestive heart failure, depending on the location of the tumor in the heart Increased risk for thromboembolism (blood clot obstructing a blood vessel) Metastasis of the tumor to other sites in [dovemed.com]

  • Large Pericardial Effusion

    Chest X-ray demonstrated cardiomegaly and echocardiogram demonstrated a large pericardial effusion. The patient underwent pericardiocentesis, draining 1.2 litres of haemorrhagic pericardial fluid. [ommegaonline.org]

  • High Fever

    Case 2 A 37-year-old lady presented with 3 months history of right-sided pleuritic chest pain, high fever, night sweats and dry cough. She was extremely breathless with poor oxygenation and her blood tests showed presence of anaemia. [cardiothoracicsurgery.biomedcentral.com]

  • Cardiomegaly

    Chest x ray may show cardiomegaly, infiltrates suggestive of congestive cardiac failure, pleural effusion, lung nodules, cardiac mass or left hemidiaphragm paralysis. [cardiothoracicsurgery.biomedcentral.com]

    Chest radiograph demonstrated cardiomegaly and small bilateral pleural effusions. Transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated large pericardial effusion with cardiac tamponade. [heartviews.org]

    Chest X-ray showed cardiomegali and ECG was consisted with atrial fibrillation. [ascopubs.org]

    She had a previous history of chronic atrial fibrillation, ischemic heart disease, osteoarthritis and deep vein thrombosis. Clinical examination, blood tests and chest x ray were unremarkable. [cardiothoracicsurgery.biomedcentral.com]

  • Diminished Heart Sounds

    Signs including hypotension, malaise, tachycardia, diminished heart sounds and a friction rub may be present. Intractable cardiac failure can result from cardiac tamponade. [symbiosisonlinepublishing.com]

  • Exertional Chest Pain

    We present a case of a 35 year old man with recurrent episodes of exertional chest pain and who was diagnosed with primary cardiac osteosarcoma. Cardiac osteosarcomas are rare but must be suspected. [indianjcancer.com]

The mass reduced its size ( Figure 3 ), an angioresonance ruled out major vessel invasion, and a staging workup showed no distant metastasis. [jtd.amegroups.com]

During the initial workup for the left wrist lesion, a frontal chest radiograph showed no significant abnormality (Figure 4A); the patient subsequently underwent below-the-elbow amputation. [appliedradiology.com]

Patient was referred to the cancer center and a 6-month postoperative workup with CT scan and PET scan reported liver metastasis only. Patient underwent successful chemotherapy and was tumor free during his one-year follow up. [omicsonline.org]

  • Left Pleural Effusion

    Chest roentgenograms showed enlargement of the cardiac shadow and left pleural effusion. Transthoracic echocardiography and chest magnetic resonance imaging showed a tumor in the right atrium, and pericardial effusion. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    (a) Posteroanterior chest radiograph shows a left pleural effusion. Note the metastatic pulmonary nodule (short arrow) and the adenopathy in the aortopulmonary window (long arrow). [pubs.rsna.org]

Although resection is not curative in most cases, surgery remains the treatment of choice for PCS and has a definite palliative significance. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Tumor spread from primary cardiac sarcoma to the bone is very rare and has a poor prognosis. Only six cases have been reported in the literature. We present a 32-year-old female patient with bone metastases from primary cardiac sarcoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Percutaneous pericardial biopsy was done to look for specific etiology. After pericardial biopsy, a 4-F pigtail catheter was left in the pericardial cavity for further aspiration. [heartviews.org]

Coronary artery diseases, congestive heart failure, valvular diseases, and arrhythmias are the primary etiologic causes. Cardiac neoplasms may have similar presentations but have been often overlooked because of rare occurrence. [indianjcancer.com]

Etiology of these tumors is unknown, though some can present as second malignancies in patients treated with radiotherapy for previous cancers. [oncolink.org]

Each one of the cases presented totally different symptoms, but a similar etiological substrate. [revespcardiol.org]

(Etiology) The exact cause and mechanism of formation of Cardiac Myxosarcoma is unknown. [dovemed.com]

METHODS: Patients with primary cardiac sarcoma and noncardiac sarcoma, diagnosed between 1988 and 2005, were identified in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Epidemiology Primary cardiac tumors have an estimated autopsy prevalence of 0.001-0.03% 2. [radiopaedia.org]

Pathophysiology Cardiac tumors arise from various cells in the heart. Clinical effects of these tumors are based chiefly on the size and location of the mass. [accesssurgery.mhmedical.com]

The treatment usually begins with chemotherapy to prevent spread and shrink the tumor and thereafter surgery may be carried out to remove the section of cancerous bone. [news-medical.net]
