“…ERG is also an endothelial marker, but it is more specific and sensitive than CD31 or CD34. ERG (+) has also been reported previously in AH patients (15,16,30,40,44,53). As spindle stromal cell hyperplasia was observed within the spermatic cord, we stained the markers of spindle cell sarcoma (e.g., rhabdomyosarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, regressed germ cell tumors, and MPNST), such as desmin, inhibin-α, S-100, and NSE.…”

BackgroundAnastomosing hemangioma (AH) is a rare vascular tumor and occurs in various organs. It is difficult to distinguish AH from malignant tumors even through multimodal imaging examination. AH located in the inguinal region is even rare. We present the diagnosis and treatment of a patient with spermatic cord AH in detail and conduct a literature review.Case ReportAn 84-year-old Chinese man had swelling pain in his right scrotum. A hard and fixed mass was palpable in the right inguinal region. Preoperative radiological examination considered it a neurogenic or vascular tumor. Malignant soft tissue sarcoma could not be excluded. He underwent radical inguinal right orchiectomy under intraspinal anesthesia. The diagnosis of spermatic cord AH was confirmed by pathological examination. The patient recovered uneventfully and remained disease-free during an 18-month follow-up.ConclusionSpermatic cord AH is quite rare and could be misdiagnosed as a malignant tumor. Pathological evidence might be necessary. The optimal choice of treatment should be determined through a comprehensive assessment of both tumor and patient factors.

Cardiac haemangiomas (CH) are rare benign primary tumours of the heart and constitute nearly 2.8% of primary cardiac tumours. In a-48-year-old female, a cardiac tumour mass over right ventricular out flow area and main pulmonary artery was detected during diagnostic workup for aetiology of recurrent pericardial effusion. Echocardiograhy and pericardial fluid findings were non conclusive. Contrast enhanced Computed tomography (CECT) and Positron emission tomography (PET) scan imaging found the exophytic, moderately hypermetabolic, heterogeneous mass lesion posterolateral to main pulmonary trunk. We did partial resection of lesion without cardiac reconstruction and open incisional biopsy through midline sternotomy incision. Histopathological analysis confirmed this as a case of Capillary type of haemangioma of heart.

“…Examination shows that benign proliferative endothelial cells lining blood vessels with increasing vascularization and intramural infiltration into the surrounding myocardial walls characterize. Based on the predominant type of proliferating vessels, hemangiomas are classified into cavernous, capillary, and arteriovenous types (48). Hemangioms are histopathologically benign and clinically dangerous tumors with various presentations, including asymptomatic, myocardial ischemia, stroke, embolization, syncope, arrhythmia, ventricular outflow tract obstruction, or sudden death.…”

Primary cardiac tumors in children are exceedingly rare overall, which benign account for most part. The onset of the disease is occult, while the clinical manifestations are non-specific-patients may be asymptomatic or show a range of obstructive, arrhythmic, embolic or systemic symptoms. The clinical presentations generally depend on the tumors’ size, localization, and pace of growth of the tumor. Moreover, the diagnosis needs comprehensive judgment based on imaging results and pathological examination. With advances in cardiac imagining and the introduction of cardiopulmonary support, the diagnosis and treatment of these rare tumors have improved the prognosis and outlook for benign tumors. To sum up the above, we sought to integrate articles from recent years for the latest comprehensive review of the clinical manifestations, imaging characteristics, clinic pathologic features and treatment of benign cardiac tumors in children to provide a broader idea for pediatricians to recognize and treat such diseases.
