[Neonatal cardiac tumour: diagnostic and therapeutic problems. One case (author's transl)]. 1979

We report a case of cardiac tumour, presenting as cardiac failure during the first hours of life and refractory hypoxia. The diagnosis was made with difficulty by angiography which revealed a filling defect in the right atrium, whilst echocardiography had shown only a localised pericarditis. The tumour (which extended into the pericardium) was found to fill the right atrium and appeared to extend towards the venae cavae and the left atrium, contraindicating any attempt at excision. The newborn infant died on D7 of a strictly intra-atrial well-limited fibromyoma.

D007889 Leiomyoma A benign tumor derived from smooth muscle tissue, also known as a fibroid tumor. They rarely occur outside of the UTERUS and the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT but can occur in the SKIN and SUBCUTANEOUS TISSUE, probably arising from the smooth muscle of small blood vessels in these tissues.

D006333 Heart Failure A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.

D006338 Heart Neoplasms Tumors in any part of the heart. They include primary cardiac tumors and metastatic tumors to the heart. Their interference with normal cardiac functions can cause a wide variety of symptoms including HEART FAILURE; CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIAS; or EMBOLISM.
