TLDR
A rare case of a 59-year-old female who received cardiac surgery for complete resection of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor in the left atrium, who presented with acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema and subsequent sudden death due to a left atrial tumor which protruded into the left ventricle through mitral annulus during diastole.Abstract:
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is currently considered to be a low-grade neoplasm, and it rarely involves the heart. We reported a rare case of a 59-year-old female who received cardiac surgery for complete resection of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor in the left atrium. Five months after surgery, the patient presented with acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema and subsequent sudden death due to a left atrial tumor which protruded into the left ventricle through mitral annulus during diastole. The recurrence of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor in the left atrium was strongly suggested clinically.read more

E. Ladich,R. Virmani +1 more
TL;DR: The most common primary tumor of the heart is a myxoma accounting for over 70% of cases, with the second most common being primary sarcomas as discussed by the authors, and more than three-fourths are benign.

TL;DR: Echocardiography plays a critical role in establishing the primary diagnosis of cardiac IMT and evaluating regular follow-up examinations, and complete surgical resection of the mass is considered the first-line treatment despite the absence of symptoms.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report their experience with 84 cases occurring in the soft tissues and viscera of 48 female patients and 36 male patients between the ages of 3 months and 46 years (mean, 9.7 years; median, 9 years).

TL;DR: The clinical, pathological, and molecular genetic features of IMT are examined and an approach to diagnosis and differential diagnosis is discussed, particularly those arising in young patients.

TL;DR: The locally aggressive, recurrent nature of these neoplasms, as well as the occurrence of metastases and tumor deaths, indicate that they are potentially malignant neoplasm that are better classified as inflammatory fibrosarcomas, not as cellular inflammatory pseudotumors.

TL;DR: The IMT should probably be regarded as a soft tissue-mesenchymal tumor with an indeterminant or low malignant potential, which is a somewhat indefinite but realistic prognostic category.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor, inflammatory fibrosarcoma, and related lesions: An historical review with differential diagnostic considerations
TL;DR: The IMT and inflammatory fibrosarcoma appear to have many overlapping clinical and pathological features, and these tumors are histogenetically related, and if they are separate entities, they are differentiated more by degrees than absolutes.
