  • Title: Cardiac pseudosarcomatous fibromyxoid tumor: a review of the literature.
    Author: Chughtai A, Cronin P, Kelly AM, Lucas DR, Pagani FD, Kazerooni EA.
    Journal: J Comput Assist Tomogr; 2005; 29(6):749-51. PubMed ID: 16272845.
    Abstract:
    A cardiac pseudosarcomatous fibromyxoid tumor (PFT) is described in a previously healthy 35-year-old man, together with a review of the literature. Pseudosarcomatous fibromyxoid tumor is within the spectrum of inflammatory (myofibroblastic) pseudotumors. It has previously been described predominantly within the genitourinary tract and respiratory tract. Inflammatory pseudotumor is rare as a cardiac tumor, and cardiac PFT is not previously reported. No recurrence or metastatic disease has been reported after resection of PFTs elsewhere in the body, and this tumor seems to have a benign clinical course.
