TL;DR: A favorable response to crizotinib seen in three cases supports its potential use in infants as seen in older patients and awareness of these unusual morphologic, immunophenotypic, and molecular features is critical for appropriate diagnosis and optimized targeted therapy.

TL;DR: The present case showed morphologic and immunohistochemical features characteristic of IMT and the immunoreactivity pattern was similar to that of extracardiac IMTs except for anaplastic lymphoma kinase 1 immunore activity, lacking in this benign intracardiacIMT but usually associated to favourable prognosis in extracardship.

TL;DR: A case of cardiac IPT caused by Listeria monocytogenes that evolved following gastroenteritis in a previously healthy child is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inflammatory pseudotumor (inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor) of the mitral valve of the heart
TL;DR: A 58‐year‐old woman presenting with dyspnea was found to have congestive heart failure due to the invagination of a tumor‐like mass of the mitral valve, suggesting IPT/IMT.

Tumors of the heart.
TL;DR: Iradiation, percardiocentesis, and injection with chemotherapeutic agents are effective in ameliorating symptoms from lymphomas/leukemias of the heart and in pericardial effusions due to malignant disease.

Cardiac tumors in infancy
TL;DR: Tumors of the heart in infants are very rare, the neoplasm commonest in adults, intracavitary myxoma, practically never occurs in infancy, and rhabdomyomas are the commonest lesions.

TL;DR: Early recognition, utilizing special diagnostic procedures such as two‐dimensional echocardiographic, computerized axial tomography, angiocardiography, and inferior venocavography, followed by elective surgical resection of tumor under cardiopulmonary bypass and/or radiation and chemotherapy, offers patients with cardiovascular tumors the best chance of cure.

Unusual intracardiac tumor in a child: Inflammatory pseudotumor or “granulomatous” variant of myxoma?
TL;DR: Based on clinical manifestations, laboratory findings, histologic and ultrastructural characteristics of the mass, the speculation is put forth that this lesion may represent a cardiac myxoma with atypical structural features as mentioned in this paper.
