Cardiac tumours in children: a single-centre experience and literature review

Cardiac tumours are extremely rare in children. Although more than 90% are benign, children can develop obstructive or embolisation derived symptoms, arrhythmias, constitutional symptoms, cardiac tamponade, or even sudden death. Although the majority are asymptomatic, and some spontaneously regress, appropriate follow-up is needed on a case-by-case basis, as patients may develop late symptoms. Definitive diagnosis is only possible through histological analysis; however, it is possible to infer tumour type with a high grade of certainty based on imaging features, particularly cardiac magnetic resonance. Surgical resection is advocated for those causing symptoms, obstruction, cardiac dysfunction, and high risk of embolisation. The aim of this review is to present the state of the art related to cardiac tumours in the paediatric population, in the context of our own experience.

Right ventricular outflow tract obstruction by cardiac hemangioma in asymptomatic patient

Ventricular hemangiomas are rare benign tumors, pose diagnostic and therapeutic complexities. We report a case of a 52-year-old female with essential hypertension who developed a systolic ejection murmur during a hypertension clinic visit. The echocardiogram revealed a hyperechoic mass obstructing the right ventricular outflow tract, causing enlargement of the right atrium and ventricle, with a reduction in the right ventricular ejection fraction. Due to the risk of death, the patient underwent an emergency surgical resection along with tricuspid valve replacement. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, and subsequent cardiac magnetic resonance imaging showed an improvement in ejection fraction without residual tumor. This case highlights the diagnosis and therapeutic complexities of ventricular hemangiomas. With this report, we aim to provide a comprehensive review of ventricular hemangiomas and to enhance understanding of this condition for improved patient care.

Cardiac hemangioma is a rare, benign vascular primary tumor. Clinical presentation is either asymptomatic or with symptoms due to its location and spatial interaction with adjacent structures. The authors present a case of right cardiac hemangioma whose clinical diagnosis was triggered by symptoms of anasarca status, hepatic damage with ascites, pleural effusion and right heart failure. The 79 years-old patient has been treated with complete resection of the tumor by means of cardiopulmonary bypass, without complications. The mid-term outcome (12 months) was favorable. The aim of this study is to report a case of cardiac hemangioma with relevant dimensions, in a rare location (tricuspid valve) with acute onset and interesting aspects of clinical presentation.
