Introduction. Inflammatory pseudotumor is an uncommon entity, and its cardiac origin is exceedingly rare. Case History. A previously healthy 27-year-old man was found to have a systolic murmur during preemployment screening evaluation. A transthoracic echocardiogram revealed a 4 × 2.5 cm mass originating from the right ventricle (RV) outflow tract extending into the aortic root. A computed tomography guided biopsy confirmed an IgG4-related inflammatory pseudotumor. Patient was started on oral prednisone with subsequent reduction in mass size. Conclusion. Cardiac inflammatory pseudotumors are markedly rare tumors that should be considered in the differential of intracardiac tumors which otherwise includes cardiac fibromas, myxomas, and sarcomas.

Abstract Isolated sub-pulmonary membrane is a rare condition, the origin of which has been debatable. Transcatheter treatment of pulmonary valve atresia with intact interventricular septum by radiofrequency perforation and balloon dilatation to restore biventricular circulation is gaining more popularity, with improving results over time. We report in our experience of 79 cases in 10 years the development of a sub-pulmonary membrane in 4 cases: causing significant obstruction requiring surgical excision in one case that revealed a fibrous membrane on pathology; causing mild right ventricular outflow tract obstruction in another and not yet causing obstruction in 2. On cardiac MRI, the right ventricular outflow tract and the right ventricular outflow tract/pulmonary atresia angle showed no morphological abnormalities.
