Cardiac tumor pathology

Cristina Basso; Marialuisa Valente; Gaetano Thiene

Cardiac tumors were once a nosographic entity of scarce clinical interest because of the rarity and of the intrinsic diagnostic and therapeutic impossibilities, and were considered a fatal morbid entity. It has now become a topical subject due to advances in clinical imaging (echo, magnetic resonance, computed tomography) as well as innovation in technologies of in-vivo diagnosis. Cardiac Tumor Pathology presents a spectacular example of these advances with clinico-pathologic correlations. This timely volume covers history, epidemiology, demographics, clinical diagnosis, pathology, imaging by echo, CT and MRI of both benign and malignant cardiac tumors, either primary or secondary. Chemotherapy of malignant neoplasms is also addressed. Special emphasis is given to clinico-pathologic correlations.

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is an inherited disease of the heart muscle, mostly due to genetically defective desmosomal proteins. The disease is characterized by fibrofatty replacement leading to ventricular arrhythmias and sudden death in young people and athletes. There is no single clinical gold standard examination for making a definitive diagnosis. The diagnosis is based on multiple parameters, including: (1) global or regional dysfunction and structural alteration of the right ventricle demonstrated on imaging; (2) tissue characterization by endomyocardial biopsy; (3) repolarization and (4) depolarization electrocardiographic abnormalities; (5) arrhythmias; and (6) family history. The so-called phenocopies must be included in the differential diagnosis, always taking into account that there is no single criterion sufficiently specific for a reliable diagnosis of ARVC. Contrast-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CE-CMR) is not yet included in the revised diagnostic criteria, although this is the only imaging modality able to depict fibrosis as late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) deposition. This review analyzes the role of CMR imaging in the diagnostic work-up of ARVC. The lack of specific diagnostic criteria contributes to the under-recognition of the nonclassic variants of ARVC, i.e., dominant or isolated left ventricular disease.ZusammenfassungDie arrhythmogene rechtsventrikuläre Kardiomyopathie (ARVC) ist eine erbliche Herzmuskelerkrankung, bei der – zumeist aufgrund genetisch fehlerhafter desmosomaler Proteine – Herzmuskelzellen durch Fett- und Bindegewebszellen ersetzt werden, was zu ventrikulären Arrhythmien und plötzlichem Herztod bei jungen Menschen und Sportlern führen kann. Es gibt nicht die einzig richtige „Goldstandarduntersuchung“ für die endgültige Diagnosestellung. Letztere setzt sich letztlich aus vielen Parametern zusammen: 1. generelle oder umschriebene Funktionsstörung und Strukturveränderung des rechten Ventrikels (RV), die sich mit bildgebenden Verfahren darstellen lässt, 2. Gewebecharakterisierung durch Endomyokardbiopsie (EMB), 3. Repolarisations- und 4. Depolarisationsstörungen im EKG, 5. Arrhythmien und 6. Familienanamnese. Die Differenzialdiagnose mit sog. „Phänokopien“ ist zwingend, wobei berücksichtigt werden muss, dass es kein „einziges Goldstandardkriterium“ gibt, das spezifisch genug ist, um die Diagnose ARVC zuverlässig zu stellen. Die kontrastverstärkte kardiale Magnetresonanztomographie (CE-CMR) wird bei den revidierten Diagnosekriterien noch nicht berücksichtigt, auch wenn dies das einzige bildgebende Verfahren ist, bei dem sich eine Fibrose als Areal mit Late-Gadolinium-Enhancement (LGE) darstellt. In der vorliegenden Übersicht wird die Rolle der CMR-Bildgebung bei der Diagnosestellung einer ARVC dargestellt. Der Mangel an spezifischen diagnostischen Kriterien trägt dazu bei, dass die nichtklassischen Varianten der ARVC, d.xa0h. dominante oder isolierte linksventrikuläre Formen, unterdiagnostiziert werden.
