Rhabdomyoma METASTASES FROM AN ABDOMINAL ISLET CELL TUMOR
• Yellow-gray tumor that occur invariably in the
ventricles commonly in multiple locations
o Altered myocytes, often not discrete from
surrounding normal myocardium
• Associated w/ TUBEROUS SCLEROSIS
• MC: 1o cardiac tumor in children
o Cause cardiac failure from obstruction of
conduction pathways and ventricular
tachycardia
• Over 90% present before age 15, usually in the
first few days of life
• Tumors maybe unresectable at surgery
• About 50% of survivors will eventually develop
tuberous sclerosis
3 of 11
• Most likely to be located posteriorly in the LA,
commonly in the presence of atrial fibrillation, or in
severely dysfunctional left ventricles. It can also be
found in the right side of the heart
• ACUTE THROMBUS will appear bright on both
T1 and T2-weighted images
• SUBACUTE THROMBUS will appear bright on
T1-weighted images with low signal intensity
areas on T2-weighted images due 2 the
paramagnetic effects of methemoglobin and
shortening of the T2 relaxation times.
• CHRONIC ORGANIZED THROMBUS will have Foreign body
low signal intensity on both T1 and T2- BULLET IN INTRAVENTRICULAR SEPTUM
weighted images due to depleted water with or
without calcification of the thrombus (similar to
adjacent parenchyma)
• Gadolinium contrast material is also useful for
differentiating thrombus from tumors, as the
former should not enhance.
1. Atheromatous Aorta
- Calcific in periphery
***EXTRACARDIAC MASSES can mimic cardiac tumors.
Pericardial and bronchogenic cysts, intrathoracic
neoplasms and rarely GI hernias may compress the
heart to mimic a cardiac mass.
Pericardial cysts
• Are congenital in origin and are usually found at
the right cardiophrenic angle, although they may
occur anywhere in the mediastinum.
• They are unilocular and contain water-based fluid
w/o internal septa
NOTES: Pericardial cyst – dark on TI,
bright on T2 2.
• They usually demonstrate the MRI character of Dilated
simple fluid and do not enhance after contrast
material administration
• They occasionally may contain relatively protein-

aqueous fluid and thus may have high signal
intensity on both T1 and T2 weighted images

3. Pseudoaneurysm
- does not go into the area of the aorta; does not
enhance
5. Aortic dissections
STANDFORD CLASSIFICATION:
1) TYPE A = the tear begins in the ascending
aorta and progresses throughout the vessel,
extending as far as the arteries in the leg
***Dissection extends into subclavian artery
Type A Dissection

2 common congenital anomaly:
1. Diaphragmatic hernia
• Types: Morgagni – anterior defect
Bochdalek – posterior defect
• A Bochdalek hernia involves an opening
on the left side of the diaphragm. The
stomach and intestines usually move up
into the chest cavity; A Morgagni hernia
involves an opening on the right side of
the diaphragm. The liver and intestines
usually move up into the chest cavity.
BeBAKEY CLASSIFICATION: • Common in the left side
1) TYPE I – involves the ascending aorta, aortic • Shifting of mediastinum to contralateral
