TLDR
The study shows that IMT must be considered in the differential diagnosis of cardiac fibroma especially in cases of inflammatory syndrome, location outside the ventricular myocardium, or multinodular lesions.About:

Pathology and genetics of tumours of the lung , pleura, thymus and heart
TL;DR: This book will not become a unity of the way for you to get amazing benefits at all, but, it will serve something that will let you get the best time and moment to spend for reading the book.

Role of magnetic resonance imaging for evaluation of tumors in the cardiac region
TL;DR: MRI proved to be useful for tissue characterization of myxoma, angiosarcoma, mesothelioma, and fibroma in cases with tuberous sclerosis and in the differential diagnosis, and was useful in determining the location and border of pericardial invasion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pediatric Cardiac Tumors: Clinical and Imaging Features
TL;DR: An understanding of the types of cardiac tumors that occur in infants and children, their clinical implications and associations, and their imaging appearances will facilitate patient management.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiac inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor: a "benign" neoplasm that may result in syncope, myocardial infarction, and sudden death.
TL;DR: These cardiac myofibroblastic tumors are readily distinguished from other endocardial-based cardiac tumors, including papillary fibroelastoma and myxoma, which may present clinically in the same manner.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heart tumors in children and adults: clinicopathological study of 59 patients from a surgical center
TL;DR: This study shows that, regardless of patients' age, heart tumors can be classified as congenital lesions, which are spontaneously nonprogressive or regressive lesions possibly requiring surgery mainly because of mass effect, and acquired benign tumors, who are lesions requiring surgery often because of embolization risk.

Extrapulmonary Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor (Inflammatory Pseudotumor) A Clinicopathologic and Immunohistochemical Study of 84 Cases
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: A recurrent oncogenic mechanism is reported, in IMTs, in which tropomyosin N-terminal coiled-coil domains are fused to the ALK C- terminal kinase domain, the first known fusion oncogene that transforms, in vivo, both mesenchymal and lymphoid human cell lineages.

TL;DR: It is concluded that SFT is a neoplasm of fibroblasts/primitive mesenchymal cells with features of multidirectional differentiation, and the finding of a novel site for SFT, the parotid gland is reported.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (plasma cell granuloma). Clinicopathologic study of 20 cases with immunohistochemical and ultrastructural observations.
TL;DR: Twenty cases of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) were studied; 19 involved the lung and 1 the esophagus only and all patients with follow-up were well as long as ten years after the diagnosis.

Histological Typing of Soft Tissue Tumours
TL;DR: The histological classification of Soft Tissue Tumours led to the establishment of four broad categories: fibrous, fibrohistiocytic, smooth, smooth and mesenchymal.
