RARE NEUROENDOCRINE TUMOR OF THE Heart
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2019Co-Authors: Roosha Parikh, Mary R. Schwartz, Lauri Campagna, Javier A. Lafuente, Dipan J. ShahAbstract:Neuroendocrine tumors are rare malignancies, typically arise from gastrointestinal (GI) tract or lung. Carcinoid Heart disease though well described, Heart Metastasis are rare. 64 year old man with no prior history of malignancy presents to the ER with sharp chest pain and cough. Workup included

Floating Heart Metastasis.
Journal of The American Society of Echocardiography, 2006Co-Authors: Nicola Mumoli, Marco Cei, Paolo Pasquinelli, Carlo Carnesecchi, Maria Serena VerzuriAbstract:Renal-cell carcinoma accounts for 2 percent of all cancers and a third of the patients who undergo resection of localized disease will have a recurrence. We report a case of a 58-year-old man with a right atrial mass protruding into right ventricle arising from the inferior vena cava, found by echocardiography, which was subsequently proved to be a recurrence of renal-cell carcinoma 25 years after radical left nephrectomy. This pattern of late recurrence is rare and suggests that this tumor's aggressive nature contributed to the degree of Heart invasion and the patient's rapid death.

Electrocardiographic manifestations of Heart Metastasis from a primary lung cancer
Supportive Care in Cancer, 2001Co-Authors: F. Vallot, T. Berghmans, F. Delhaye, J. Dagnelie, J. SculierAbstract:Though acute myocardial infarction is one of the most frequent causes of ST segment elevation, there are other, less frequent, reasons for such electrocardiographic changes. In the present case, a cardiac Metastasis from a squamous cell lung carcinoma was responsible for these changes. The secondary lesion was located in the apex of the left ventricle and induced an ECG alteration mimicking myocardial ischaemia. The literature includes few reports that describe the relation between electrocardiographic changes and Heart metastases, since Heart metastases are not usually discovered except at autopsy.

Intracardiac Metastasis from germ cell testicular tumor
Herz, 2012Co-Authors: Ž.s. Jonjev, J. Rajić, M. Majin, D. DonatAbstract:Intrakardiale Metastasen von testikulären Keimzelltumoren kommen in der klinischen Praxis nicht häufig vor. Rechtsherzmetastasen manifestieren sich klinisch ganz unterschiedlich: Abhängig von ihrer Größe und intrakardialen Lage können sie ausgeprägte Symptome aufweisen, zu Rechtsherzinsuffizienz sowie Lungenembolien führen und letal verlaufen, sie können aber auch ganz asymptomatisch bleiben. Verbesserte bildgebende Verfahren und Behandlungsstrategien zeigen, dass eine Rechtsherzmetastase als eine zwar potenziell gefährdende, aber doch therapierbare Erkrankung angesehen werden sollte. Vorgestellt wird ein Patient mit einem nichtseminomatösem Keimzelltumor, der sich nach Metastasierung in den rechten Vorhof in ein Teratom differenzierte und durch Obstruktion der rechtsventrikulären Einflussbahn auffiel. Intracardiac metastases of germ cell testicular tumors are not commonly seen in clinical practice. The clinical presentation of right-sided Heart metastases ranges widely. Depending upon its size and intracardiac location, it could be highly symptomatic, leading to a congestive Heart failure, pulmonary embolism, and death, or completely asymptomatic. Improved imaging techniques and treatment strategies demonstrate that right-sided Heart Metastasis should be considered a potentially dangerous but treatable disease. Presented is the case of a 24-year-old man with a testicular nonseminomatous germ cell tumor, which after metastasizing in the right atrium differentiated into a teratoma and resulted in an inflow obstruction of the right ventricle.
