Intracardiac Extension

Angiomyolipoma(AML) is one of the most common benign renal tumors. Classical AML is benign, but it can be locally invasive, extending into perirenal fat, or in rare cases, invading the renal collecting system, renal vein or inferior vena cava and right atrium. About 10% of patients clinically diagnosed with renal AML have tuberous sclerosis complex. Tuberous sclerosis complex can be diagnosed by genetic diagnosis or clinical manifestation. We report a rare case of a 35-year-old woman who was diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis complex caused by TSC2 gene mutation, which was characterized by multiple angiomyolipoma in the right kidney and extended growth to the inferior vena cava and right atrium. Intracardiac extension is often observed in the malignant tumor and only seldom seen in benign tumors. Our case reminds the rare possibility of intracardiac extension in renal AML, which may potentially result in fatal complications if not appropriately managed.

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.
