Cardiac metastasis from invasive thymoma via the superior vena cava: cardiac MRI findings
Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol.
2008 Jul.
Abstract
Cardiac tumors are rare, and metastatic deposits are more common than primary cardiac tumors. We present cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of a 50-year-old woman with invasive thymoma. Cardiac MRI revealed a heterogeneous, lobulated anterior mediastinal mass invading the superior vena cava and extending to the right atrium. In cine images there was no invasion to the right atrial wall.
