Article Abstract
Atrial myxomas are the most common primary cardiac tumors. In 20% of cases, they arise from the right atrium. Only a few such tumors are reported to have arisen from the inferior vena cava. We present the case of a 20-year-old female with recurrent vomiting and supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), found to have a massive myxoma emerging from the suprahepatic Inferior vena cava (IVC) involving the eustachian valve, and extending to the right atrium. Surgical excision was successful, leading to an uneventful recovery. This case underscores the importance of prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention in managing right atrial myxomas to prevent potential complications such as embolism and sudden death.

Background And Objective: Surgery of renal cell cancer (RCC) with a caval thrombus (CT) is associated with significant morbidity, particularly regarding thromboembolic complications. There are no data or recommendations regarding the potential benefit of preoperative anticoagulants. We aimed to assess the usefulness of preoperative anticoagulation regarding surgical outcomes and thromboembolic events in patients undergoing nephrectomy with inferior vena cava thrombectomy.

Lattice radiotherapy (LRT) is a type of spatially fractionated radiation therapy (SFRT) that enables the delivery of ablative doses to specific internal regions of large tumoral lesions, while surrounding tissues and nearby critical structures receive significantly lower exposure. This technique relies on a spatial distribution strategy that allows dose levels of radiation to be applied within the tumor in a single session or, alternatively, over the course of five sessions. Over time, LRT has gained attention as a promising method for managing large tumors, especially in cases where conventional treatments may pose higher risks or be less effective, offering the benefit of reduced side effects.
