Scimitar syndrome or Felsons veno-lobar syndrome is a very rare congenital disease characterized by a combination of cardiopulmonary abnormalities, including partial right-sided pulmonary venous drainage to the inferior vena cava, the inferior cavo-atrial junction, or low on the right atrium. We report the case of a 53-year-old female patient who presented with recent gradually worsening dyspnea. The diagnosis was suspected on the chest x-ray and confirmed on Cardiac echography andComputed Tomography scan that showed a wide collector gathering the three right superior pulmonary veins that joins the lower part of the superior vena cava, thus joining the right atrium while the right inferior pulmonary vein is drained into the inferior vena cava. The patient was treated surgically by performing a derivation of the right superior pulmonary venous collector to the left atrium with a tricuspid annuloplasty with a good outcome.

Hepatocellular carcinoma usually metastasizes to regional lymph nodes, lung, and bones but can rarely invade the inferior vena cava with intravascular extension to the right atrium. We present the case of a 75-year-old man who was admitted for generalized oedema and was found to have advanced HCC with invasion of the inferior vena cava and endovascular extension to the right atrium. In contrast to the great majority of hepatocellular carcinoma, which usually develops on the basis of liver cirrhosis due to identifiable risk factors, none of those factors were present in our patient.

Tumor thrombus infiltration of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) into the inferior vena cava and right atrium is rare and is associated with a poor prognosis due to the critical location of the tumor and the limited efficiency of the available treatment strategies. In this study, we report the case of a patient with advanced HCC and tumor thrombus in the inferior vena cava and right atrium who demonstrated complete response with mass retraction upon Yttrium-90 trans-arterial radioembolization (90Y- TARE) therapy. Throughout the 16 months follow-ups after the radioembolization, the patient was free of any complications, revealing no occurrence of radiation-induced pneumonitis or tumor recurrence.
