[Intracavitary cardiac metastasis of osteosarcoma: echocardiographic aspects].

Osteosarcoma is a malignancy whose various sites of metastasis greatly modify its ultimate prognosis. In this study we present a case of a 15 years old girl affected by osteosarcoma of the left femur with cardiac metastasis in the right ventricular cavity. The echocardiogram made it possible the in vivo diagnosis. It is recommended that an echocardiographic study is performed routinely in patients affected by osteosarcoma.

Imaging features of nonmyxomatous primary neoplasms of the heart and pericardium.

We present the imaging findings in 13 patients with nonmyxomatous primary neoplasms of the heart and pericardium. Ten patients had abnormal chest films. While echocardiography was useful for determining origin of the tumor, CT (computed tomography) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) were better at delineating extent of disease. The radiographic appearance of these rare neoplasms of the heart and pericardium is varied. Cross-sectional imaging plays a crucial role in the surgical planning and management of these patients.

Primary neoplasms of the heart. Clinical and histological presentation of 50 cases.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze clinical and histologic findings of 50 patients with primary neoplasms of the heart in a tertiary referral center. METHODS: From 1980 to 1998, we retrospectively analyzed 50 patients, 32 of whom were females, whose ages ranged from 9 to 73 years (mean age = 44.16+/-18 years). RESULTS: Most tumors were located in the left side of the heart (72%), myxoma being the most common (84%) histologic type. The other histologic types found were as follows: fibroma (4%), lipoma (2%), rhabdomyosarcoma (2%), hemangioma (2%), sarcoma (2%), angiosarcoma (2%), and lymphoma (2%). Diagnosis was established by echocardiography in 94% of the cases. Clinical findings were as follows: dyspnea (36%), weight loss (20%), palpitations (18%), chest pain (16%), fever (8%), and arthralgia (6%). All patients with thromboembolic phenomena (10%) had left atrial myxoma. Approximately 20% of the patients were asymptomatic at the initial clinical assessment. CONCLUSION: Primary cardiac tumors are a rare entity with diverse clinical and histologic findings, requiring, therefore, a high level of clinical suspicion.
