Intracardiac masses, Histopathological, Thrombi, Vegetations and Primary or Metastatic Tumors.
Abstract
Thrombi, vegetations and primary or metastatic tumors are the most frequent causes of intracardiac masses. Early clinical diagnosis of a cardiac mass and accurate pathological evaluation is crucial in terms of improving prognosis. However differential diagnosis may be challenging particularly in the absence of an evident malign process, infective endocarditis and a thrombotic state. We herein evaluated excisional and incisional biopsy specimens of 13 cardiac masses in the light of the literature and aimed to reveal the correlation between clinical pre-diagnosis and histopathological evaluation. A total of 13cardiac excisional biopsy specimens were identified retrospectively and correlation with clinical pre-diagnosis was assessed. The number of cardiac mixomas was 10 (76.9%). Of all masses, 1 (7.7%) was reported to be thrombus formation. Angiosarcoma was present in a 1 (7.7%) patient and resected from the myocardium of the right ventricle. Finally the other 1 (7.7%) was diagnosed as endocardial fibrosis, proliferation of juvenile connective tissue, focal myxomatous degeneration and dystrophic calcification. Further developments are required in radiological evaluation of cardiac masses. Although high temporal resolution and excellent soft-tissue contrast are provided particularly in the MRI, differentiation of true neoplasms from tumor mimics still remains to be a clinical challenge.
