“…The most common treatment interventions in metastatic PNET were chemotherapy plan only ( n = 6) 26–31 and surgical plan (tumor resection) with chemotherapy ( n = 5). 32–36 One patient had only tumor resection, 37 one patient underwent both chemotherapy and radiotherapy, 38 and one patient was without any intervention. 39…”

Objective Primary and metastatic primitive neuroectodermal tumors of the pericardium are uncommon. Two cases are presented and discussed. Methods The cases of a 17- and 38-year-old male patients with neuroectodermal tumors of the pericardium are presented. In addition, a systematic review was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items and checklist for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). All selected articles’ quality assessment was done using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Critical Appraisal Checklist for Case Reports. Results The systematic review yielded 29 patients with primary or metastatic PNET. Two patients underwent cardiac transplantation. It seems that unlike considering total resection in other organs, pericardiectomy in PNET patients with pericardial origin may lead to further invasion of the lesions, and it is not recommended. The average disease-free follow-up was 10 months. The combination of neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy along with surgery and radiotherapy offered the best disease-free outcomes. Conclusion Neuroectodermal heart tumors are rare, aggressive tumors requiring chemotherapy and radiotherapy in association with tumor resection surgery to have the best disease-free duration.

Ewing sarcoma is the second most prevalent primary malignant bone tumor. Metastases from Ewing sarcoma to the heart are very rare. Herein, we present a case of undiagnosed Ewing sarcoma in a 12-year-old boy who presented with metastasis to the left atrium. The mass was prolapsing across the mitral valve. In view of the potential risk of embolization, urgent cardiac surgery was performed before the establishment of a definitive diagnosis. Histopathology was consistent with Ewing sarcoma. Subsequent magnetic resonance imaging revealed a mass in his left fibula. The patient was referred to the oncology center and received chemotherapy. One year later, he is alive with no evidence of recurrent cardiac involvement.

“…Extension of metastatic lung tumors through pulmonary veins into the left atrium is exceedingly rare. We searched literature for such cases and found only few cases of cardiac metastasis from Ewing's sarcoma . Definitive diagnosis can be made by pathologic examination of a biopsy specimen which is possible only in some cases.…”

A rare case of Ewing's sarcoma/primitive neuroectodermal tumor metastasizing to left atrium through left inferior pulmonary vein

Cardiac metastasis of Ewing's sarcoma is exceedingly rare. A 40-year-old male was admitted with complaints of nonproductive cough, exertional dyspnea, and fatigue since 4 months with a history of abdominal wall swelling which was excised and proven to be Ewing's sarcoma/primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET). A transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated inhomogeneous mass located posterior to the left ventricle and a solitary mass protruding into the left atrium through the left inferior pulmonary vein. Due to accompanying pulmonary metastasis and possible poor outcome of the surgery, surgical resection was not considered.

A solitary metastasis in the heart from Ewing's sarcoma

Abstract: We present a patient with a solitary metastasis in the heart 8 years after treatment for Ewing's sarcoma. Exploratory thoracotomy was performed and biopsies were taken. Despite high dose ifosfamide, the patient died a few weeks after surgery.
