A 13-year-old healthy girl presented with dizziness and palpitations, found to have a left atrial mass. An 8 cm tumor was removed. Pathology confirmed leiomyosarcoma, Grade 3 with positive margins. She was treated with ifosfamide and doxorubicin prior to radiation with concurrent ifosfamide alone. She was treated to 66 Gy in 33 fractions to the operative bed. Prospectively graded toxicities included Gr 2 esophagitis and Gr 1 anorexia, dermatitis and fatigue. She completed a total of 6 cycles of ifosfamide. One year after treatment she had no evidence of disease with normal ECHO and no cardiac, pulmonary or esophageal symptoms.

Abstract Background Cardiac myxomas are the most common benign primary cardiac tumours. The natural history of left cardiac myxomas is thought to be of slowly growing tumours. Cardiac myxomas are a heterogeneous group with a variable growth rate. They present usually with stroke, valve obstruction, or non-specific symptoms. Surgical resection is the effective treatment. Case summary This case report describes a 56-year-old hypertensive and dyslipidaemic female, when she was admitted in January 1990, complaining of loss of appetite, aches, pains, and palpitations. Her workup included a transthoracic echocardiography and transoesophageal echocardiography, which showed a left atrial mass attached to the inter-atrial septum, highly suggestive of left atrial myxoma. She was referred for surgical removal of the left atrial mass. However, she was reluctant to undergo surgery as she felt better. The patient was followed-up for almost 30 years with the left atrial mass confirmed as left atrial myxoma by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. The left atrial mass became smaller in size and more calcified. Discussion Cardiac myxomas are a group of heterogeneous tumours, thought to be slowly growing. The growth rate of cardiac myxomas prior to diagnosis is not well known, as the vast majority is treated with surgical resection immediately after diagnosis. Our case showed the natural progression of an unoperated smooth-surfaced left atrial myxoma followed-up for almost 30 years, which slowly became smaller and more calcified.

Abstract Background Intimal sarcoma is an exceedingly rare type of primary cardiac tumour. It is characterized by poorly differentiated spindle-shaped cells that can mimic smooth muscle and is strongly associated with MDM2 genetic amplification. Owing to its rarity and nondistinctive histological features, diagnosis remains a significant challenge. Case Summary In this case report, we describe a case of primary cardiac intimal sarcoma in a 37-year-old woman who presented with atrial fibrillation and a left atrial mass. Despite having a histological sample from an excised left atrial mass, the diagnosis was not made until she presented with back pain secondary to metastatic disease to the spine. Discussion Primary cardiac intimal sarcoma is an extremely rare diagnosis. The mainstay management of intimal cardiac sarcoma is aggressive surgical resection. Unfortunately, the prognosis of cardiac sarcomas remains very poor, with a mean survival between three months to one year. This case of cardiac intimal sarcoma highlights the difficulty in establishing a diagnosis, particularly given the unusual presentation of atrial fibrillation.

Present Case Study

Cardiac myxoma with glandular elements is extremely rare cardiac myxomas that show glandular differentiation, the pathogenesis of which is unknown. The present case study reports a case of glandular cardiac myxoma. A 21-years-old female presented with left atrial mass which was surgically resected and sent for histopathological examination. Microscopically, there were well formed mucinous glands in a background of cardiac myxoma and hence cardiac myxoma with glandular elements was confirmed. Though rare, it should always be differentiated from metastatic adenocarcinoma.
