Case report: Clinical features of pediatric acute myeloid leukemia presenting with cardiac tamponade: a case series study and literature review. Front Oncol 2024; 14:1391768. [PMID: 38939339 PMCID: PMC11208300 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2024.1391768] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2024] [Accepted: 05/31/2024] [Indexed: 06/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective This study aims to elucidate the clinical features observed in cases of pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) initially presenting with cardiac tamponade and to share treatment experiences. Materials and methods Five pediatric patients were initially diagnosed with AML accompanied by cardiac myeloid sarcoma (MS). The diagnosis was established by examining our hospital records and reviewing pertinent literature from 1990 to July 2023, accessible through MEDLINE/PubMed. We comprehensively assessed the clinical characteristics and treatment modalities employed for these patients. Result Five pediatric patients presented with acute symptoms, including shortness of breath, malaise, cough, and fever, leading to their hospitalization. Physical examination revealed irritability, hypoxia, tachypnea, tachycardia, and hypotension. Initial detection utilized chest X-ray or echocardiogram, leading to subsequent diagnoses based on pericardial effusion and/or bone marrow examination. Two patients received chemotherapy at the time of initial diagnosis, one with cytarabine and etoposide, and the other with cytarabine and cladribine. Post-treatment, their bone marrow achieved remission, and over a 2.5-year follow-up, their cardiac function remained favorable. Unfortunately, the remaining three patients succumbed within two weeks after diagnosis, either due to receiving alternative drugs or without undergoing chemotherapy. Conclusion This is the first and largest case series of pediatric AML patients with cardiac MS, manifesting initially with cardiac tamponade. It highlights the rarity and high mortality associated with this condition. The critical factors for reducing mortality include identifying clinical manifestations, conducting thorough physical examinations, performing echocardiography promptly, initiating early and timely pericardial drainage, and avoiding cardiotoxic chemotherapy medications.

Abstract
Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare, multisystemic, histiocytic disorder that usually presents with painless cervical lymphadenopathy. We describe a case of constrictive effusive pericarditis with congestive cardiac failure in a six-year-old child as an initial presentation of RDD. The child underwent pericardiectomy and was treated with steroids, following which the symptoms resolved entirely. While tuberculosis accounts for the majority of cases presenting with constrictive pericarditis in developing countries, the presentation of RDD can be easily missed if not kept in mind as a possibility. This case report documents the unique presentation of a rare disease.

Abstract
Varying degrees of atrioventricular block can be associated with old age or a manifestation of an ischemic, metabolic, or infective pathology. In patients with no clear explanation, it is important to investigate secondary causes. Our case describes the first case of an adult with Rosai-Dorfman histiocytosis presenting with complete heart block. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary cardiac tumors in children are extremely rare. This study aimed to analyze clinical treatment and follow-up of pediatric primary cardiac tumors. PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis by searching the medical records of 75 patients diagnosed with pediatric primary cardiac tumors from June 2005 to August 2017 in our institution. We followed operative patients every half year in the first postoperative year and then at least every year. If the patients had no serious symptoms or hemodynamic changes, they received nonoperative management and were followed regularly every year. RESULTS Nineteen patients underwent surgery at our department for serious symptoms and critical hemodynamic changes. Four patients had postoperative complications. Two died of low cardiac output syndrome and arrhythmia after surgery. One patient with myxomas had tumor recurrence and one had been found of another rhabdomyoma after surgery. The other 14 patients recovered well. Fifty-six patients had nonoperative management. Four were lost in follow-up. Two patients with malignant tumors died of unknown causes after discharge. The remaining patients had no severe symptoms or tumor growth during follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Clinical treatment of pediatric primary cardiac tumors should be performed individually. Most pediatric primary cardiac tumors are benign, and spontaneous regression is possible, especially for rhabdomyomas. The principle purpose of surgical treatment is to restore normal hemodynamics and protect important structures and cardiac tissue.

Cardiac tumors prevalence and mortality: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Int J Surg 2020; 76:178-189.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Cardiac tumors and their associated outcomes are poorly characterized. This study sought to comprehensively assess the epidemiology and natural history of primary and secondary malignant cardiac tumors (PMCT and SMCT), a well as establish predictors of mortality. METHODS A comprehensive literature review was performed to identify articles reporting on PMCTs and SMCTs. The prevalence of important cardiac tumor (CT) subtypes was evaluated and further stratified based on the continental region. Outcomes of interest included short- and long-term mortality and utilization of heart transplantation (HTX). A random effect model was adopted, and a meta-regression was performed to determine predictors of the prevalence of CTs as well as predictors of operative mortality. RESULTS Of the 1,226 retrieved articles, 74 were included in our study (n = 8,849 patients). The mean follow-up was 2.27 years, mean age was 42.9 years, and 55% of the patients were females. There was a total number of 7,484 benign primary cardiac tumors (PCTs) (5,140 were myxoma), 862 (9.7%) malignant PCTs, and 355 secondary cardiac tumors. The prevalence of PMCTs among PCTs was 10.83% [95%CI = 09.11; 12.83%] with a trend towards being lower in South America compared to other continents (Prevalence = 5.80%). The prevalence of HTX among all patients was 2.45% [1.36; 4.38%]. The pooled short-term mortality was 5.90% [4.70; 7.39%] and the incidence of late mortality in all CTs, benign CT and PMCTs was 2.55% [1.76; 3.72%], 0.79% [0.46; 1.37%] and 14.77% [9.32; 23.40%], respectively. On meta-regression, the annual volume of cardiac tumor cases per center was the only predictor of lower early mortality (Beta = -0.14 ± 0.03, P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS PMCTs represent the minority of PCT (~10%) and have a higher prevalence in Europe and North America. Survival is higher in benign pathology and is significantly improved by treatment in specialized high-volume centers. Approximately 2% of patients with CTs undergo heart transplantation.

Abstract
A 50-year-old woman previously diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia presented with a 3-month history of shortness of breath and a right-sided facial rash. A chest CT revealed an intracardiac mass in the right atrium extending into her superior and inferior vena cava. Surgery was performed to remove the mass and pathology was consistent with myeloid sarcoma. After surgery, adjuvant radiation therapy was directed to the residual disease. The patient eventually relapsed in other sites not including the right atrium and eventually succumbed to her disease.

Abstract
This systematic review sought to investigate the current evidence regarding surgical management of primary cardiac tumors in children and adolescents. Twenty-eight studies were deemed eligible, reporting on 745 pediatric patients. Rhabdomyoma was the most prevalent histologic type and echocardiography was the most common diagnostic tool. Cumulative 30-day mortality rate was 6.7%. Rhabdomyomas and teratomas had the highest 30-day mortality. The higher percentage of tumor relapse was noted for myxoma and teratoma. Although cardiac tumors are rare, their atypical clinical presentation, potential for recurrence, and the poor prognosis associated with recurrence elucidate the need for reliable diagnostic and therapeutic management.

Abstract
Granulocytic Sarcomas (GS) also called as Myeloid Sarcomas (MS) or chloromas are the representatives of extramedullary infiltrates of immature myeloid cells including myeloblasts, promyelocytes and myelocytes. Primary cardiac malignancies per se are rare and infiltration of cardiac muscles by secondary malignant cells is also an uncommon finding. Out of these cardiac tumors, contribution of Cardiac Myeloid Sarcoma (CMS) is even more smaller thereby limiting our knowledge about this rare entity. Because of its very lower incidence, an exact guideline for diagnosis and management is still missing and usually haematologists around the world are treating CMS based on their clinical acumen. Aim of this review is to briefly discuss the presenting clinical feature, differential diagnosis, diagnostic workup and management based on published articles related to CMS till date.

Abstract
Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a non-malignant pathology of histiocyte proliferation. The classical clinical presentation is with painless cervical lymphadenopathy, but extranodal involvement is frequent, occurring in approximately 40% of cases. The literature was systematically reviewed to identify reported cases of RDD with cardiac involvement. Eighteen cases were identified (3 pediatric and 15 adult). In adult cardiac RDD (cRDD), three patterns of disease were noted: an intra-cardiac mass, epicardial involvement, and pulmonary artery involvement. Reported cases suggest that surgical excision of intra-cardiac masses confers a good prognosis.
