TL;DR: A case of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor that involved the right ventricle, thereby causing tricuspid valve regurgitation in an 18-year-old man who presented with a fever of unknown origin and of 1 month's duration is described.
Abstract: Cardiac inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is a rare lesion consisting of inflammatory cells and myofibroblastic spindle cells. We describe a case of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor that involved the right ventricle, thereby causing tricuspid valve regurgitation in an 18-year-old man who presented with a fever of unknown origin and of 1 month's duration. With the patient on cardiopulmonary bypass, we excised the lesion and replaced the tricuspid valve without serious intraoperative or postoperative sequelae. The patient had a favorable outcome.

TL;DR: 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.

TL;DR: A patient is reported with a cardiac IMT diagnosis, involving the aortic root and right ventricular outflow tract, causing mechanical distortion of theAortic valve with resultant severe aorti regurgitation, believed to be the first reported case of IMT as a direct cause of aorto-regurgitation.

TL;DR: The case of a 9-year-old girl who had sudden cardiac death as a result of occlusion of the left circumflex coronary artery is reported.
Abstract: Cardiac inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare entity affecting predominantly infants, children, and young adults. Although most tumors have a benign clinical course after complete surgical resection, some have significant clinical effects. We report the case of a 9-year-old girl who had sudden cardiac death as a result of occlusion of the left circumflex coronary artery. A review of 57 cases of cardiac IMTs reported in the literature in terms of epidemiology, clinical presentation, histologic and immunohistologic features, and outcome is presented. Recognition of this rare abnormality is important in order to initiate prompt surgical intervention.

TL;DR: A rare case of a 55-year-old symptomatic male patient with a rare cardiac IMT causing left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction, involving aortic valve in older adult causing LVOT obstruction is presented.
Abstract: Cardiac inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is an extremely rare benign entity which constitutes a small proportion of primary cardiac tumor. We present a rare case of a 55-year-old symptomatic male patient with a rare cardiac IMT causing left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. The patient received complete tumor resection immediately with uneventful postoperative hospital course. To our best knowledge, cardiac IMT involving aortic valve in older adult causing LVOT obstruction has never been reported before. Additionally, we make a literature review on IMT, focusing on the various clinical presentation of this unpredictable tumor.
