“…make CT a robust and reproducible technique for cardiac evaluation. 18,23,24 Whereas the diagnosis of cardiac PFT was not raised before surgery, the imaging features were not typical of an atrial myxoma. Atrial myxomas are more commonly located in the left atrium (60%-80% of all cardiac myxomas) than in the right atrium (10%-28% of all cardiac myxomas).…”

A cardiac pseudosarcomatous fibromyxoid tumor (PFT) is described in a previously healthy 35-year-old man, together with a review of the literature. Pseudosarcomatous fibromyxoid tumor is within the spectrum of inflammatory (myofibroblastic) pseudotumors. It has previously been described predominantly within the genitourinary tract and respiratory tract. Inflammatory pseudotumor is rare as a cardiac tumor, and cardiac PFT is not previously reported. No recurrence or metastatic disease has been reported after resection of PFTs elsewhere in the body, and this tumor seems to have a benign clinical course.

“…Magnetic resonance imaging is an excellent tool for precise demonstration and localization of such tumors, as well as identifying its anatomic relationship to the cardiac chambers and any involvement of the myocardium, pericardium, or contiguous structures. 4,5 Magnetic resonance imaging also helps to elucidate the pathophysiological effects of the tumor on cardiac function through gated cine-loop sequences. 4 Magnetic resonance imaging plays an important role in the characterization of lipomas because its fat suppression technique is highly specifi c for detecting lipids.…”

Cardiac lipoma originating from the left ventricular apex diagnosed using the magnetic resonance imaging fat suppression technique: Report of a case

et al. 2010

A 70-year-old male patient had a tumor in the left ventricular apex that was detected by transthoracic echocardiography. He had no clinical manifestations. A diagnosis of benign lipoma was made using the noninvasive fat suppression technique of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Video-assisted surgery was performed to resect the tumor, and the histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of lipoma. A small part of the tumor was not resected. The postoperative course was uneventful. No signs of recurrence were detected on transthoracic echocardiography or MRI during a 22-month post surgical follow-up period.
