“…3 shows a strongly hyperechogenic fetal cardiac myxoma arising from the right ventricle. There were more tumors with homogeneous echotextures [10, 13-17, 25, 27] than with heterogeneous [11,29], more with regular appearance [9, 10, 13-16, 19, 22, 25, 29-31] than with irregular [8], more pedicled [7,8,11,14,17,19,22,23,25,27,28,3 0] than sessile [13], and more fetuses with a solitary cardiac myxoma [4, 6-13, 15-17, 19, 22, 23, 25-28, 30, 31] than with multiple ones [14,20,24,29] (1 fetus had 2 cardiac myxomas [29], 2 fetuses had 3 cardiac myxomas [14,23], and in 1 fetus with multiple cardiac myxomas, the tumor number was unavailable [20]), whereas no difference was found concerning the frequencies between the tumors of good mobility [4, 7, 9-11, 23, 25, 26] and of poor immobility [13,15,16,24,25,30].…”

Fetal cardiac myxomas are very rare. To date there has been no representative description of fetal cardiac myxomas. The aim of this study is to highlight the clinical features, possible outcomes and the disparities from the adult cardiac myxomas and other fetal cardiac tumors.A comprehensive literature review yielded 27 reports including 32 cases of fetal cardiac myxomas.Apart from the same pedunculated and solitary nature and echogenic appearance, fetal cardiac myxomas differ from those in adults in many aspects, including tumor location, clinical manifestation and malignant potential. Fetal cardiac myxomas are the most common in the left ventricle and the least common in the left atrium. Tumor size and tumor site could be predictive risk factors of adverse cardiac events of fetuses.Their clinical courses are often benign with fewer cases of adverse cardiac events. Prenatal echocardiography is a reliable diagnostic technique, which can detect cardiac myxomas at as early as 18 weeks gestation. Differential diagnosis should be made from other types of fetal cardiac tumors. Postnatal cardiac myxoma resection may provide a good prognosis.

“…Fetal cardiac tumors are rare. The prevalence was reported to be 0.14-1.9 % upon fetal echocardiographic studies [1][2][3][4]. Fetal cardiac myxomas were even rarer.…”

Primary cardiac tumors have very low prevalence with cardiac lymphoma, being one of the rarest forms. Several recent reports have shown transesophageal echocardiography to be an accurate technique for characterizing and localizing these neoplasms, with results comparable to CT and MRI scans. Transvenous intracardiac tumor biopsy has been employed as a minimally invasive technique to obtain tissue samples. The addition of transesophageal echocardiographic (TEE) guidance to this process has increased the accuracy of obtaining diagnostic specimens while improving patient safety. We review published cases of this relatively new technique using combined fluoroscopic and TEE guidance and present a case of primary cardiac lymphoma diagnosed by this method. The patient achieved complete tumor remission after treatment with standard chemotherapy and remains fully functional 32 months after initial diagnosis. Cathet. Cardiovasc.
