“…[3][4][5] The mechanisms responsible for these differences in uptake of thallium-201 are still unclear. 6,7 In this case, the feeding arteries to the tumor were highly developed from LCX and RCA, whereas LCX could not be well visualized in the coronary angiogram. This finding suggested that the increase of blood supply via the feeding arteries to the tumor decreased the LCX blood flow, indicating that whether or not this atrial tumor was visualized depended on the quantity of the blood flow to the tumor containing thallium-201.…”

“…However, radionuclide angiography may detect intracardiac tumors as filling defects when other imaging techniques have not. In addition, intramyocardial invasion of primary cardiac malignancies have been demonstrated using radionuclide "tumor seeking agents" such as gallium-67 and thallium-20 1 [35,36]. Primary pericardial mesothelioma has also been detected by gallium-67 [37].…”

CLINICAL SUMMARYA 37-year-old male initially complained of polyarthralgias, fever and shortness of breath in February of 1986. Physical examination was unremarkable and routine laboratory analysis was unrevealing. The ANA and rheumatoid factor were negative. The sedimentation rate was 62 (elevated), and the C-reactive protein was 7.2 (elevated). The patient was initially thought to have adult onset Still's disease or familial Mediterranean fever. He was started on aspirin and later switched to oral steroids with marginal resolution of symptoms.With the persistence of symptoms, the patient was admitted to a hospital in April. The arthralgias and dyspnea worsened. Past medical and surgical histories were unremarkable. The family, social, and work history were all noncontributory. Physical examination was remarkable for a temperature of 99.6"F, hyperdynamic precordium, with the first heart sound maximally heard at the apex and the second heart sound maximally heard at the base. There was a 3/6 crescendo murmur heard at the apex which radiated toward the axilla, compatible with mitral valve regurgitation. Approximately 0.12 seconds after the second heart sound, a plop, followed by a soft diastolic rumble, was audible. Musculoskeletal exam failed to reveal clubbing, cyanosis, edema or joint swelling. Chest radiographs were remarkable for bilateral small pleural effusions as well as bilateral interstitial infiltrates at the bases. Computed tomography of the chest revealed an interstitial pattern in the lungs. A gallium scan noted diffuse bilateral lung parenchymal uptake.A 2-D echocardiogram revealed a 3.0 X 3.0 cm distal left atrial mass which was attached to the posterior atrial wall above the posterior mitral leaflet. It appeared to prolapse into the valve orifice during diastole.It was felt that the patient had an atrial myxoma, and a thoracotomy was undertaken on April 15, 1986. The atrial mass was identified and resected. The lesion had a pedunculated stalk arising approximately 4.0 mm above the posterior leaflet of the mitral valve annulus. The 0 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

The rate of cardiac metastasis from internal malignancies is estimated to be nearly 10 percent of autopsies of cancer patient cases. Almost all of these cases are direct invasions of malignancies from the pericardium or intra-myocardial metastasis. We report here a case in which almost all of the right ventricular cavity was occupied by a tumor, and this condition was diagnosed by means of two-dimensional echocardiography antemortem diagnosis. Metastasis to other organs were revealed on autopsy. Furthermore, two different histological types of cancers in the lung and the stomach were also found. CASE REPORTA 77-year-old man who had a syncopal attack was brought to the hospital by ambulance at 7:30 A.M. on April 9, 1986 within 20 minutes of the attack. He had undergone a subtotal gastrectomy for gastric cancer 6 years earlier. Prior to admission, he had been under observation for the previous 18 months, and during this period a new early gastric adenocarcinoma and early lung epidermoid carcinoma were diagnosed. The second gastric cancer was not considered to be a relapse of the former one because the location was quite different. It was treated with the photodynamic method using an argon dye laser. The early polypoid epidermoid carcinoma in the lung was also treated by the photodynamic method with an argon dye laser. Although he was found unconscious at his home, he recovered from syncope on admission.He had no respiratory complaints, his blood
