malignant cardiac tumors - primary
Primary
cardiac metastatic angiosarcoma. Images demonstrate the heterogeneous signal intensity intracardiac mass connected to the posterolateral wall of the right atrium, which appears to be infiltrated (arrows), with signs of extra-auricular extension. There is also pleural effusion (asterisks).
Significant
incidental cardiac disease on thoracic CT: what the general radiologist needs to know. Axial contrast-enhanced CT demonstrates a mass (black arrows) involving the right atrium and ventricle, (later confirmed to be angiosarcoma by histology) on axial contrast enhanced CT and reformatted images in a 27-year-old female being investigated for possible pulmonary embolism (shortness of breath and dizziness)
Primary
pericardial mesothelioma. Coronal reformatted CT image demonstrating multiple enlarged lymph nodes. Liver cyst.
Primary malignant cardiac tumors are rare, and account for only ~25% of primary cardiac tumors, and only a small proportion of all malignant tumors which involve the heart: direct extension of adjacent tumors or metastatic deposits are far more common.
Pathology
Histologcal types include :
- cardiac angiosarcoma
- most common
- accounts for 35-40% of all primary malignant cardiac tumors
- malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH)
- osteosarcoma
- hemangiopericytoma
- cardiac lymphoma
