Article Abstract
Cardiac lipomas are the second most common cardiac tumors. They are usually asymptomatic and diagnosed as incidental findings. We describe a 71-year-old patient with a tumor in the right atrium. In echocardiography and MRI scan, the diagnosis of a cardiac lipoma was suspected. Moreover, MRI demonstrated continuity of pericardial fat and the tumor in the right atrium by infolding of the atrial wall and epicardial adipose tissue in the space between the atrial walls, which might be a hint for the Waterstone groove hypothesis. An operative resection was performed which confirmed the suspected diagnosis.

Background: Although traditionally reserved for unresectable lesions, recent studies have provided evidence that in selected patients, microwave ablation (MWA) may provide similar oncologic outcomes compared to liver resection (LR). This study aimed to compare oncologic outcomes of patients with solitary small (<3 cm) colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) undergoing LR vs laparoscopic MWA.
Study Design: This retrospective study included patients with a solitary CRLM <3cm treated with LR or MWA in three centers over 25-years.

Extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL), nasal type, is a rare and aggressive subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that often presents with extranodal involvement. While relapse patterns commonly involve the nasal cavity, lungs or skin, cardiac involvement is rare. We report a late 50-year-old patient with ENKTCL, nasal type, who achieved complete remission following chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation.

Introduction: Treatment intensification with androgen receptor signaling inhibitors and/or chemotherapy is guideline recommended for patients with de novo metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). However, most patients only receive androgen deprivation therapy monotherapy. The aim was to identify physician-, patient-, and tumor-related factors associated with the receipt of treatment intensification.
