Primary sarcomas of the great vessels (aorta, pulmonary artery, and inferior vena cava (IVC)) are exceedingly rare. We report a rare case of an undifferentiated intimal sarcoma of the IVC with extension to the right atrium, adrenal, and renal veins. The patient underwent extensive resection, reconstruction of the IVC, and subsequent adjuvant chemotherapy. Patient has tolerated chemotherapy and, at 17 months after resection, the patient remains free of tumor recurrence. Undifferentiated intimal sarcomas remain a rare entity with only five cases of venous undifferentiated intimal sarcomas reported in the literature, two of which occurred in the IVC. Intimal sarcomas tend to carry a poor prognosis with the limited literature available on treatment approaches. Our objective is to highlight this rare entity and possible treatment approach which we utilized. Primary sarcomas of IVC need to be included as part of a complete differential diagnosis in patients with atrial masses or recurrent pulmonary emboli.

Intimal sarcomas simultaneously involving the right atrium and the inferior vena cava are rare. We report an advanced cardiac intimal sarcoma in the right atrium of a 19-year-old man that was complicated by tumor-related inferior vena cava thrombosis. We initially performed partial tumor resection and vena cava thrombectomy to resolve the circulatory obstruction, because complete resection was difficult due to the invading malignancy and an unclear margin. The patient received adjuvant chemo- and radiotherapy along with anticoagulant therapy. After 3 months, the border of the residual sarcoma was clear, and the patient underwent a secondary complete sarcoma excision (including that of the right atrium) and a suprahepatic vena cava reconstruction. At the 2-year follow-up, there was no tumor recurrence. We conclude that aggressive treatment and a staged complete resection can lead to improved outcomes for advanced cardiac intimal sarcoma with poor prognosis.

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.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements governmental grants Uterine leiomyoma is a commom disease in women, however, intravenous leiomyomatosis of uterine origin extending via inferior vena cava into the right side of the heart,known as intracardiac leiomyomatosis is a rare condition (3%). In 1907, Durk reported the first case of intracardiac extension. The patient was a Woman, 35 years old, admitted to our emergency department for an intracardiac mass. She had shortness of breath,fatigue and chest pain. The transthoracic two dimensional echocardiography showed an echogenic oval mass mobile in right atrium and projected through right ventricle in diastole. This mass was observed to extend from inferior vena cava to the right atrium. The echotransesophageal three dimensional showed a large mobile mass that extended from inferior vena cava to the right atrium. A Computer tomographic (CT) scan showed a hypodense multilobulated mass in the pelvis, which had invaded the inferior vena cava and right atrium. The patient underwent a two stages surgery. In first stage (transatrial tumor resection). The operation was performed normal temperature with establisment of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Subsequently, the pathological report was confirmed uterin smooth muscle origin. The second stage surgery ( total histerectomy) was done four weeks later for removing lobulated mass uterin with dimensions 20x15x7.5cm with confirmed histopathological of leiomyoma. Because of it is nonspecific clinical presentation and rarity, an intracardiac Leiomyomatosis continues to be a misdiagnosed as either thrombus or myxoma. The cardiac imaging techniques like a transthoracic echocardiography 2d and transesophageal echocardiography 3d have been used to define the presence, extension of tumor as appearance of the mass and involvement of adjacent structures.
