Multimodality imaging of a pulmonary artery sarcoma.

Pulmonary artery sarcoma is a rare malignant neoplasm. Here, we describe a patient with a pulmonary artery sarcoma, which was only subtly visible and therefore not fully appreciated on initial transthoracic echocardiogram. Characterization of the tumor was aided by the use of multimodality imaging that included computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography.

Right ventricular wall hematoma due to thrombolytic therapy presenting as cardiac tamponade: a case report and review of literature.

Intramyocardial hematoma is an uncommon condition, most often occurring after myocardial infarction or chest trauma. A 54-year-old male patient with a large right ventricular wall hematoma who presented with cardiac tamponade three days after acute inferoposterior myocardial infarction and thrombolysis is described. This is the first report of intramyocardial hematoma related to thrombolytic therapy.
