The Korean Society of Cardiovascular Imaging (KOSCI) has held monthly imaging forums for the last 20 years. In this note from the KOSCI, we are presenting 4 interesting cases selected from the cases discussed in the KOSCI monthly imaging forums in 2016. The cases are examples of syphilic aortitis, tuberculous aortitis, primary aortic intimal sarcoma, and solitary fibrous tumor of the pericardium. Through the monthly imaging forums, members can share their experiences with one another. The discussions involving rare diseases and their imaging findings enhance our ability to make proper diagnosis in clinical practice and provide ideas for new research topics. We want to share these opportunities with the readers of CVIA.

“…In the malignant cases, hypercellularity and nuclear atypia were positive. They were stained for CD34 which are features of SFTs, 20) although negative CD34 is a sign of high-grade malignancy. 6) Rare malignant examples of SFTs have been reported in the pleura and mediastinum, and analogous tumors of the pericardium have probably been classified as pericardial fibrosarcomas.…”

An unusual location of solitary fibrous tumor in heart—A case report and review of literature

Background Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) are rare spindle cell tumors originating from the mesenchymal cells mostly from the visceral pleura. SFT was first described as a distinct entity in 1931 by Klemperer et al. Until now, we have limited data regarding the manifestation and behavior of extra pleural forms such as cardiac SFT. Here we present a case of SFT involving the pericardium where the diagnosis was made by imaging followed by biopsy findings. We also review the literature of SFT involving the heart and the management approaches. Case Presentation An 81‐year‐old male presented with progressive dyspnea. Computed tomography (CT) of the chest showed a 6.2 × 5.3 cm soft tissue mass in the anterior mediastinum. Further imaging with CT angiogram showed a stalk‐like connection to the pericardium. A biopsy of the mass showed spindle cells positive for BCL‐2, CD34, and STAT 6, indicative of a solitary fibrous tumor. A surveillance approach was adopted for the patient. Conclusion Primary pericardial tumors are exceedingly rare, with a prevalence rate of 0.001%‐0.007%. Diagnosing a SFT requires a positive CD34 and BCL‐2 marker. The current recommendation is resection of localized disease which has been documented to be curative in cases of benign disease however our patient was put on surveillance.
