A report of the only surviving adult to undergo partial excision of an intramural cardiac left ventricular fibroma is presented. Good results were obtained by relieving outflow tract obstruction through partial excision of the tumor from the septum and left ventricle. The need for conservative surgical treatment of patients with this rare, benign tumor is emphasized.

A fourth case is presented of propagation of Wilms' tumor to the right atrium through the inferior vena cava. Ultrasonic examination of the heart was diagnostic of the tumor and the diagnosis was confirmed by angiographic studies and surgical exploration. This report provides the first echocardiographic description of a right atrial tumor in a child.

A case of carcinoid syndrome, stemming from a tumor of the large intestine with hepatic metastases, is reported. Clinical features included cardiac disease with triple valvular lesion: tricuspid insufficiency with stenosis, pulmonary artery stenosis and mitral insufficiency. More recent views about the pathogenesis of the cardiac involvement in the carcinoid syndrome are reported, and the cardiac therapy is discussed.

39 instances of mural thrombosis of the right side of the heart were observed among 2000 cases of post-mortem examinations. The right atrium was the most frequent site of thrombosis; the right ventricle was involved in 8 cases. The relationships between right sided thrombosis and rhythm disturbances, myocardial or valvular disease, myocardial infarction, pulmonary disease, neoplasm, sepsis and disturbance of coagulation are discussed. The high incidence of pulmonary embolism and their relationship with thrombosis of the right side of the heart are emphasized.

In a 18 year-old woman, an isolated benign hemangioma of the right atrium led to cardiac tamponade and acute renal failure. After 8 days of anuria, the tumor was excised and replaced by a pericardial patch. The persistence of severe renal shutdown necessitated further hemodialysis during 22 days postoperatively. The patient was discharged on the 45th day in good hemodynamic and renal condition. Thirteen cases of benign hemangioma of the heart have been reported in the literature: 12 were found at autopsy; only 4 were complicated by hemopericardium but none of these survived.

The pathologic and echocardiographic findings of a massive right coronary arterial aneurysm in a 62 year old man are presented. The thrombosed aneurysm simulated a cardiac tumor, destroying one pulmonary valve cusp. It also caused marked pulmonary stenosis with elongation and narrowing of the outflow tract of the right ventricle and fixation of half of one cusp of the tricuspid valve.

A case of a left atrial myxoma revealed a saddle occlusion of aortic carrefour is reported. The embolus has been surgically removed and histology allowed to recognise its myxomatous nature, suggesting source for left atrial cavity. Cardiac catheterisation and angiocardiography confirmed the presence of atrial tumor, which has been successfully excised. Embolisation is referred to villous, friable surface of the neoplasm. Employment of echocardiography in patients with arterial emboli from unknown etiology is highly recommended.

Atrial myxoma has been diagnosed on the basis of a characteristic M mode echocardiographic pattern of a mass of echoes appearing, with a lag phase, beneath the anterior leaflet of the mitral or tricuspid valve in diastole. However, this pattern is not specific for an atrial tumor. Two patients are described with tricuspid leaflet endocarditic vegetations whose M mode echocardiograms were strikingly similar to the M mode tracing from a patient with a large right atrial myxoma. In a fourth patient, artifact, resulting from the failure of lateral resolution of the atrial wall, was also capable of producing a mass of echoes appearing, with a lag phase, beneath the anterior tricuspid valve leaflet in diastole. In each patient, two dimensional echocardiography confirmed the presence or absence of a right-sided mass lesion and defined more precisely the location of the echocardiographic density relative to the right atrium and tricuspid valve. Because two dimensional echocardiography is capable of detecting anatomic relations in two distance dimensions and of visualizing movement of intracardiac structures relative to one another in real time, it can play an important role in the identification and differential diagnosis of intracardiac mass lesions.

The Authors illustrate a peculiar case of elevated and persistent levels of LDH activity in serum of a patient after acute myocardial infarction. The patient was also affected by a testicular tumor. Surgical ablation of neoplasm normalized LDH activity serum.

The Authors describe a case in which an anterior mediastinal tumor manifested as a cardiovascular disease. Phonocardiographic findings and their modifications induced by respiratory manoeuvres are presented and discussed. Particular enphasis is given to the disappearance, with deep inspiration, of the pulmonary ejection murmur associated with the simultaneous paradoxical behaviour of pulmonary component of the second sound. The Authors suggest that such findings can be indicative of pulmonary outflow obstruction by an external mass.
