AI Article Synopsis
- Intracardiac tumors are rare and can either develop in the heart or metastasize from other regions.
- A patient experienced a transient ischemic attack (TIA), leading to the discovery of a right hilar non-small cell lung carcinoma during stroke evaluation.
- The tumor had invaded the left atrium via a pulmonary vein, confirmed by FDG-PET scanning.
Article Abstract
Intracardiac tumors are unusual and can originate within the heart or spread from other sites. This is a report of a patient who presented with a TIA, and during the subsequent stroke workup, a right hilar nonsmall cell lung carcinoma was discovered. The tumor had extended into the left atrium through a pulmonary vein. The hilar tumor as well as intracardiac extension were demonstrated by PET scanning using FDG.

Aim: Percutaneous vertebroplasty is generally considered a safe procedure, however, cases of cardioembolism and cardiac perforation have been reported.
Case Presentation: A 69-year-old woman was referred to our emergency department after an outpatient echocardiogram revealed a "thrombus-like" formation involving the right heart. Two weeks before she had undergone percutaneous vertebroplasty of the third to fifth lumbar vertebrae due to osteoporotic fractures.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the most significant health issues worldwide, with associated healthcare costs estimated to surpass USD 1054 billion by 2045. The leading cause of death in T2DM patients is the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). In the early stages of T2DM, patients develop cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction due to the withdrawal of cardiac parasympathetic activity.

Hydatid disease is an infection caused by the larval form of Echinococcus. It is a zoonosis primarily affecting the lungs and liver. While pulmonary involvement is most common, the cysts can develop in various extrapulmonary sites within the thorax, such as the pleural cavity, fissures, mediastinum, heart, vascular structures, chest wall, and diaphragm.

Intravascular leiomyoma (IVL) with intracardiac extension (ICE) represents an exceedingly rare diagnosis of a cardiac mass. We present the case of a 42-year-old woman with recurrent syncopal episodes. Cardiac investigations revealed an extensive, mobile mass stretching from the inferior vena cava (IVC) through the right heart to the bifurcation of the pulmonary artery.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on renal tumors with inferior vena cava (IVC) and intracardiac (IC) extension in pediatric patients treated at Aga Khan University Hospital in Karachi, Pakistan, over an 18-year period.
- A total of 18 out of 61 patients presented with IVC/IC extension, predominantly involving Wilms tumor, with most surgeries resulting in tumor regression and a low mortality rate.
- The study found a higher incidence of tumor extension compared to previous literature, highlighting the need for multi-center research to improve surgical management and patient outcomes in similar settings.
