Aspergillus can cause devastating opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients. Rarely does this fungus invade the heart, and when it does, survival is especially poor despite optimal medical and surgical treatment. We report a case of cardiac aspergilloma with involvement of the tricuspid valve and both the right atrium and ventricle found on a transthoracic echocardiogram in an immunocompromised patient after developing atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular rate. The findings from this case suggest that early clinical suspicion is critical in early diagnosis and thus early treatment.

Improvement in outcome of Malignant solid tumor cases is credited to existence of well-defined guidelines and protocols and integrated treatment modalities involving chemotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy. The present case describes a rare case of Wilms tumor extending from the left kidney to left renal vein and then via inferior vena cava into the right atrium. This patients was 5 years of age and resident of Karachi presented to the outdoor of National Institute of Child Health (NICH) with the complaints of progressively increasing abdominal distension over the last two months that exacerbated with the agony of swelling in both lower limbs. On physical examination, a mass was palpable in the left abdominal area not crossing the midline. On initial scrutiny with haematological testing and the basic radiology workup in the form of ultrasound abdomen, the patient was found to have a mass originating in the left kidney and invading the left renal vein. CT scan abdomen with contrast revealed that the patient had a heterogeneously enhancing mass of 12 X 9 cm originating from the left kidney and invading the left renal vein. The size of the tumor encroaching into the right atrium cavity was 19.5 X 20.5 mm.

Introduction: Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a fatal tumor, though primary cardiac is very rarely encountered. In this report, we evaluated the surgical and medical management of primary cardiac LMS, which is a sporadic tumor.Case Presentation: A 60-year-old female patient was examined for pulmonary edema after penicillin allergy in May 2019, while transthoracic echocardiography (ECHO) revealed an appearance compatible with a 5x3.5 cm mass in the right atrium. In addition, transesophageal ECHO showed a 7x4.6 cm foreground mass compatible with a myxoma in the right atrium (RA). The patient was then operated on emergency. Besides, an adjuvant ifosfamide-mesna-doxorubicine (IMA) protocol was planned to be given to the patient after local radiotherapy.Conclusions: In this report presented, we made RT and chemotherapy treatment plans in the case of recurrence without R0 surgery. Recurrence rates of up to 50% can occur in LMS, and systemic chemotherapy can be applied after relapse

Although percutaneous nephrolithotomy is generally safe, it has various complications. We present an extremely rare case in which the nephrostomy tube pierced renal parenchyma, proceeded through the right renal vein and inferior vena cava, finally reaching the right atrium. Such a tube misplaced to atrium level was firstly reported, which was safely withdrawn using a 2-step process under fluoroscopic monitoring. We also recommend the tube be marked with different color lines to maintain awareness of the tube length that has passed the peel-away sheath. Such information might help to avoid such complication.
