“…MCTs may present with a wide spectrum of common cardiac symptoms and signs, but usually they present with right-sided heart failure. Symptoms attributed to arrhythmias can be seen and are due to invasion of the cardiac conduction system [ 19 ]. MCTs can also mimic cardiac ischemia due to invasion, compression or embolism of coronary arteries [ 20 ].…”

BackgroundTo evaluate the prevalence of metastatic tumors involving the myocardium and study their presentation in order to increase awareness to their existence.MethodsPathological reports from Sheba Medical Center (Israel, January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2015) and medical records from The Institute for Cardiovascular Diseases of Vojvodina, Sremska Kamenica (Serbia, 23 years period) were screened for cases of metastatic cardiac tumors. Medical, radiological and pathological data of identified cases was retrieved and reviewed.ResultsOut of thousands of registered cardiac surgeries we found less than a dozen cases of metastatic cardiac tumors classified as melanoma, carcinomas of lung, colon and kidney and sarcomas of uterine origin. We found that metastatic cardiac tumors comprised 15.8% of all the cardiac tumors.ConclusionsMetastatic cardiac tumors are extremely rare. As new diagnostic technologies and improved survival of oncological patients may increase the incidence of metastatic cardiac tumors in the future, awareness to their existence and knowledge of their presentation are key factors in their timely recognition.

The clinical records of all patients with granular cell tumor seen at our institution over a 20-year period were reviewed. Three patients with malignant, and 37 with benign tumor, were identified. Eleven patients had multiple benign lesions. Three had a history of familial occurrence. Clinical and pathologic features and the management of this nebulous entity, in both its benign and malignant forms, are reviewed and discussed.
