“…Out of these three options, the preferred method seems to be ICE guidance, which offers the direct visualisation of the mass and can be performed with conscious sedation, thus minimising the risk of perforation. TEE requires general anaesthesia and an experienced echocardiographist, while the fluoroscopic guiding drawbacks consist of lower accuracy and longer exposure to radiation [ 30 ].…”

A Rare Case of Left Ventricular Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumour—Case Report and Review of the Literature

et al. 2022

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour (MPNST) is an aggressive and uncommon cancer developing in the peripheral nerve sheath. Primary cardiac MPNST is an extremely rare finding, with no specific imaging and clinical characteristics. Only a handful of cases have been reported in the literature; thus, little is still known about them. Cardiac computed tomography (CT) and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) are important means of assessing cardiac morphology and function. The preferred course of treatment for this pathology is by full surgical resection of the tumour, with negative (clear) margins, followed by adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy. We present the case of a 42-year-old woman with no significant cardiovascular symptoms who was incidentally diagnosed during routine transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) with a cardiac mass located in the left ventricle.

Tumors of the heart are rare entities characterized by the absence of specific signs and symptoms. A biopsy is necessary for verify the diagnosis and determine the most correct treatment tactics. Endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) is a modern and relatively safe approach for biopsy of cardiac tumors. Usually this procedure performs under the control of fluoroscopy and echocardiography (intracardiac, transthoracic, transesophageal). However, this procedure is rarely used in patients with suspected cardiac malignancy.We present two clinical cases of endomyocardial biopsy of cardiac tumors by the endovascular approach under the control of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). The biopsy was successful in both cases and pathological diagnosis was established.
