[Elastofibroma dorsi about one case and review of the literature]

Elastofibroanas are rare benign soft tissue tumours that are almost always located at the inferior pole of the scapula, deep to the serrains anterior muscle, Their anatomical location, a distinctive clinical symptom and radiological particularities distinguish them from malignant soft tissue tumours. We report a case of a 48 years old man who had presented an under scapular mass. Clinical exam found a 70 mm mobile mass. CT scan showed a soft tissue neoplasm deep to the peri-scapular muscles. We processed to a total excision of this mass. Histological study showed an elastofibroma

Cardiac metastasis of leg liposarcoma. A case report

Cardiac tumors are rare. In autopsic series, their incidence is 0.02 - 0.03%. Liposarcoma is an exceptionnel cause of cardiac metastasis. We report the case of a 55 years old patient, operated for multiple localisations of liposarcoma [left leg, left arm, abdomen]. As well as, he has a vertebral metastasis treated by radiotherapy. Two months later, the patient consulted for dyspnoea. A cardiac ultrasound tomography showed dilated right cavities with a volumineous intra ventricular mass. A thoracic computed tomography was showed a tissular intracardiac mass. The patient was operated in a cardiovascular surgery service, but died in post operative period. The purpose of this study is to specify the cardiac metastasis incidence, the diagnostic methods and therapic modalities
