In an infant with tuberous sclerosis and West syndrome, ACTH treatment was interrupted because of augmentation of the biventricular outflow tract obstruction. A 5-month-old boy, who had been diagnosed to have multiple cardiac tumors since in utero, manifested West syndrome with typical hypsarhythmia
BACKGROUND
Prostate cancer is a very infrequent occurrence in persons aged 55 years or less, and it has been rarely reported in HIV-infected patients (10 overall cases so far); therefore, an increased incidence compared with the general population has not been established, although a younger age
The following report describes the case of newborn girl with an asymptomatic systolic murmur, which on imaging revealed a nearly obstructive mass in the left-ventricular outflow tract. The mass was resected and found to be consistent with a rhabdomyoma. Here, we describe the pathologic and clinical

An 82-year-old man with a history of coronary artery bypass surgery, hypertension and small bowel gastrointestinal stromal tumour underwent cardiac risk evaluation prior to surgical resection of his tumour. He was asymptomatic from a cardiovascular perspective, but his activity level was
We report a case of a patient who was admitted to our hospital complaining of angina pectoris. On auscultation, a systolic ejection murmur was heard at the right upper sternal border. Transthoracic echocardiography displayed regional wall motion abnormalities and detected a mobile mass in the left
Primary cardiac tumours are mostly benign and rare in paediatric practice. Here, a male baby was presented with history of birth asphyxia. On examination he was found to have a systolic murmur and was initially thought to be either a case of ventricular septal defect or tricuspid regurgitation due
There were 79 cases of cardiac tumors seen from 1957 to July 1988. 49 (62.0%) of them were benign and 30 (38.0%) malignant. All the 49 benign tumors except 2 were surgically excised and found to be myxoma. Of them, 18 patients were male and 31 female. 85.7% of the tumors were located in the left
We studied 38 patients with cardiac tumours. Of these, 30 had primary cardiac tumours while the rest had secondary tumours. The commonest manifestations in patients with primary tumours were exertional breathlessness (23), fever (9), mitral diastolic murmur (15), loud pulmonary component of the
Intracardiac masses in infancy are not common. Tumors, thrombi and vegetations of bacterial endocarditis are exceedingly rare in this age group. These masses are seldom diagnosed before the infant's death. Two-dimensional echocardiography is a noninvasive technique that can detect and differentiate
Here we present a case of 55 year old male who presented with lower respiratory tract infection and clinical findings of systolic murmur at apex and hepatosplenomegaly and later on multiple cerebral emboli which on further evaluation turned out to be myeloproliferative neoplasm associated with
The clinical features of 10 children, in whom the diagnosis of a cardiac tumor has been made, are reviewed. There were nonspecific systolic murmurs in 9 patients, depression of the S-T segment in the ECG of 7 children, and premature extrasystoles or supraventricular tachycardia in 4 children. X-ray
A 46-year-old woman known to have an asymptomatic left atrial tumour suddenly developed dyspnoea, tachycardia (up to 140 beats/min) and a fall in systolic blood pressure to 80 mm Hg, 12 days after an extensive radical operation for metastatic ovarian carcinoma. Echocardiography demonstrated a large
