Abstract
The most common tumour of the heart is myxoma but paraganglioma (also called glomus tumour in extracardiac sites) in the cardiac position is the rarest of them. While this tumour accounts for 0.8% of all primary benign tumours, the combination of both neoplasms is an exceedingly rare occurrence. Herein, we present a case of combined carotid glomus tumour and left atrial paraganglioma tumour in which respiratory distress was the presenting symptom of cardiac type but carotid tumour was asymptomatic. The case underwent a two-step resection of the neck and cardiac mass with an uncomplicated postoperative course and in the 1year follow-up, no recurrence of tumour in both sites was found on physical exam and imaging studies.

Abstract
Primary tumors of the heart, most commonly myxoma, are an uncommon cause of ischemic stroke and intracranial aneurysms. The tumors may occur in any age group but are most frequently detected in middle-aged persons with an atypical or cryptogenic stroke. While some patients will have a history of cardiac or constitutional symptoms, in many cases ischemic stroke will be the initial manifestation of the cardiac mass. Myxomas are the most common cardiac tumors, and valvular fibroelastoma is also a potential cardiac cause of stroke. Among patients with stroke, the most common location for a myxoma is the left atrium. Elevations of inflammatory markers provide clue for a myxoma. Cardiac imaging is the most definitive diagnostic study. Treatment centers on surgical removal of the cardiac mass may be curative.

Abstract
We report a case of a 21-year-old man with a cardiac pheochromocytoma involving the right atrium and extending to the right ventricular inflow tract, which was diagnosed by somatostatin receptor scintigraphy. For the preoperative evaluation, we chose multiple methods of imaging to accurately describe the anatomic extent and location of the tumor and its surrounding tissues, which showed that no major coronary artery ran through the tumor. The tumor was resected with disease-free margins effectively and safely with the use of cardiopulmonary bypass and with cardiac arrest. The patient remained asymptomatic at the 3-month follow-up.

Abstract
We present a case of unusual cardiac paraganglioma (PG) initially misdiagnosed as atypical carcinoid tumor of the lung and discuss key clinical and pathologic characteristics that guide surgical management of these rare chromaffin cell tumors. A 64-year-old female with persistent cough and back pain was found to have a 4 cm × 3 cm mass abutting multiple cardiopulmonary structures. A biopsy was performed at an outside institution and pathology reported "atypical neuroendocrine carcinoma, consistent with carcinoid". The patient was transferred to our institution and pericardial resection with right pneumonectomy was performed to excise the tumor. Histology of the mass was that of PG with multiple ethanol embolizations. Immunohistochemical examination revealed that type I (chief) cells were positive for neuroendocrine markers (chromogranin A and synaptophysin), while type II (sustentacular) cells were positive for S100. There was no evidence of atypical carcinoid tumor in the lung. PG is an entity of chromaffin cell tumors that often affects the adrenal glands and carotid body. PG rarely occurs in the thoracic region, accounting for just 1-2% of all PG. Proper diagnosis of cardiac PG is challenging owing to its rare prevalence, subtle symptoms of presentation, and the neuroendocrine histopathological features it shares with atypical carcinoids. These tumors are typically benign and are best treated by surgical resection. Our report examines the approach to appropriate diagnosis of cardiac PG vs. atypical carcinoid, preoperative management, and surgical treatment by describing successful resection through thoracotomy without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass.

Abstract
Primary cardiac paragangliomas are extremely rare. Recently this neoplasm has been associated with a familiar syndrome as a result of mutation of genes that encode proteins in the mitochondrial complex II. We report a case of a 46-year-old woman having cases of vertebral paraganglioma in her family showing an unusual anatomic and clinical presentation of cardiac paraganglioma and expressing a genetic mutation never associated before with cardiac localization of this neoplasm.

Abstract
In this report, we present a case of 35-year-old lady who had presented with atypical chest pain and exertional breathlessness for past six months. Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiograms showed a well-circumscribed, echo-dense mass in the right atrium, attached to the interatrial septum at the level of atrioventricular junction and in the vicinity of coronary sinus ostium. She underwent successful resection of the cardiac mass. Histopathology revealed paraganglioma, which was reconfirmed by immunohistochemistry study. This represents an extremely rare presentation as primary cardiac tumors are 20-times less common than metastatic tumors and paraganglioma is one of the rarest primary cardiac tumors, accounting for < 1% of all cases.

Abstract
Cardiac paragangliomas are extremely rare neoplasms with an incidence of 1% of all cardiac tumors and can be completely asymptomatic, therefore, diagnosis is difficult. This article reports the case of an 18-year-old man with a heart murmur detected during a routine physical examination. Echocardiography revealed a heart tumor measuring 7 cm in size in the right atrium. Due to the tumor size and the threat of tricuspid valve insufficiency, tumor resection was performed. The histopathological examination revealed a cardiac paraganglioma with positive reactions of the tumor cells for chromogranin A, synaptophysin and CD56. Differentiating a primary cardiac paraganglioma from other more common cardiac tumors and particularly from metastases of neuroendocrine neoplasms from other locations is essential not only for the further clinical treatment but also for the prognosis of the patient.

Abstract
We report a case of completely resected right atrioventricular groove paraganglioma. Primary cardiac paragangliomas are extremely rare. Only about 60 cases have been reported in the literature, and most of these tumors originated from the left atrium or the base of the aortic root and pulmonary artery; 5 cases originated from the right atrium. In our patient, the paraganglioma was largely located in the right atrioventricular groove and protruded into the right atrial wall. To our knowledge, there has been no paraganglioma reported in the right atrioventricular groove. We successfully carried out complete tumor resection. Most of these tumors are locally invasive, and complete resection is often difficult.

Abstract
About 2% of all paragangliomas are located in the chest, and a few have been described to be found in the heart. Primary cardiac paragangliomas are extremely uncommon tumors and surgical experience with this neoplasm is limited. Treatment strategies described in the literature have included simple excision, excision with reconstruction, autotransplantation after excision of the tumor and even orthotopic cardiac transplantation, depending on the extent of disease. A primary retrocardiac paraganglioma catecholamine-productive was identified in an asymptomatic 49–year old female associated to familial pheochromocytoma-paraganglioma syndrome caused by germline mutation of the gen which codifies for the subunit B of succinate dehydrogenase enzyme (SDHB). The neoplasm was surgically excised from the posterior surface of the left atrium via median sternotomy using cardiopulmonary bypass. Direct ligation of feeding vessels of the tumor along with left atrial reinforcement using a pericardial patch was performed. The post-operative course was uneventful, with normalization of catecholamine secretion and no recurrence at three-month follow-up. We review the current literature about this exceptional cardiac tumor, pathophysiological conditions and options for surgical management.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Primary cardiac paraganglioma is a very rare tumor with less than sixty reported cases in the literature. The clinical presentation is variable, but is most commonly manifested by hypertension and symptoms related to the catecholamine excess. CASE REPORT We report a case of a 35 year old man who presented with anginal pain and hypertension. He was found to have a cardiac mass on the computed tomographic scan and echocardiogram. He underwent surgical exploration of the mass which on biopsy was found to be a 'Cardiac Paraganglioma'. Surgical resection of the tumor was successfully done and the patient is doing well five years after the surgery without any evidence of recurrence. His blood pressure, however, failed to normalize and needed single agent antihypertensive therapy. CONCLUSION Cardiac paragangliomas have a relatively favorable outcome if diagnosed and resected in time. We briefly review the literature regarding the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of this rare tumor.
