AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
A case of an intrapericardial cyst causing heart failure due to right ventricular compression is presented. Characterization of the lesion and its repercussion on right ventricular function by means of state-of-the-art dual source computed tomography (DSCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is shown. The diagnosis of intrapericardial cyst was confirmed after surgical excision and biopsy. Usefulness of these noninvasive techniques for the diagnosis of this rare entity is emphasized.

Background: Intrapericardial pneumonectomy is a complex procedure indicated for large lung tumors where safe dissection of major vascular structures outside the pericardium is unfeasible or when the pericardium itself is invaded. Traditionally managed via open thoracotomy, recent advancements in VATS techniques now allow for intrapericardial pneumonectomy even in cases with extensive tumors or locally advanced disease. In this article, we detail the clinical outcomes and surgical considerations of six patients with non-small cell lung cancer who underwent VATS intrapericardial pneumonectomy.

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare malignancy of mesenchymal origin of medium-low grade with a tendency to local recurrences but not to distant metastases. We present the case of a 37-year-old male who underwent surgical resection of a 1.2 cm DFSP lesion on the left shoulder in May 2020.

Pericardial disease is increasingly recognized in cancer patients, including acute pericarditis, pericardial effusion, and constrictive pericarditis, often indicating a poor prognosis. Acute pericarditis arises from direct tumor involvement, cancer therapies, and radiotherapy. Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-related pericarditis, though rare, entails significant mortality risk.

Primary mediastinal malignant germ cell tumours are rare, comprising only 1-4% of mediastinal tumours, of which 50-70% are non-seminomatous germ cell tumours. Non-seminomatous germ cell tumours typically demonstrate an excellent response to cisplatin-based chemotherapy. However, in some cases, tumours may persistently enlarge despite normal tumour markers following chemotherapy, leading to a rare condition known as growing teratoma syndrome.

Depending on its location, size, and proximity to the cardiac structures, an intrapericardial teratoma may lead to severe circulatory disturbances and even fetal demise. A 34-year-old G2P1 presented at 20w5d with a solid cystic mass in the right thorax of the fetus, originating from the right atrium or lung, with signs of non-immune fetal hydrops, soon resulting in intrauterine fetal death. Detailed post-mortem autopsy revealed signs of hydrops fetalis universalis due to a spherical tumor mass originating from the aortic root.
