“…[5,10,11] Although rhabdomyomas respond very well to medical therapy today, surgical resection still plays an important role in rhabdomyomas' treatment. [12] Since spontaneous regression and response to medical treatment are seen frequently, the need for surgical resection is reported as 16 to 25% in the literature. [13,14] Resection was required for benign tumors due to cardiac dysfunction caused by their size and localization.…”

Bu çalışmada çocukluk çağı primer kalp tümörlerinin cerrahi tedavisine ilişkin 12 yıllık deneyimimiz sunuldu. Ça lış ma pla nı: Ocak 2005-Aralık 2017 tarihleri arasında merkezimizde primer kalp tümörü nedeni ile ameliyat edilen 13 pediatrik hasta (8 erkek, 5 kız; ort. yaş 1.3±1.9 yıl; dağılım, 3 gün-6 yıl) bu çalışmaya alındı. Veriler hastanemiz tıbbi kayıtlarından retrospektif olarak incelendi. Bul gu lar: Rezeke edilen kitlelerin tümü benign idi. En sık görülen tümör rabdomiyomayı takiben (n=7), fibroma (n=3), miksoma (n=2) ve perikardiyal teratoma (n=1) idi. İki hasta ameliyat sonrası erken dönemde kaybedildiği için mortalite oranı %15.4 idi. Diğer hastalarda ameliyat sonrası erken ve geç dönemde rezidüel kitle veya tümör nüksü görülmedi. So nuç: Çocukluk çağı primer kalp tümörleri genellikle benign olmakla birlikte, tümörün yerleşimi ve büyüklüğüne bağlı olarak klinik açıdan önemli sorunlara yol açabilmektedirler. Cerrahi tümör rezeksiyonu genellikle uzun dönem iyi sonuçlar ile ilişkilidir. Anah tarsöz cük ler: Çocukluk çağı; kalp cerrahisi; primer kalp tümörleri.

“…Primary cardiac tumors are very rare in children, with a reported incidence of approximately 0.17% according to a review of the echocardiographic database at Boston Children's Hospital . Rhabdomyoma is the most common, but cardiac myxoma is a very rare cardiac tumor during fetal life and childhood . In adults, myxoma is the most common cardiac neoplasm and a life‐threatening disease with symptoms and signs of dyspnea due to cavity or valve obstruction, fever, arrhythmia, systemic or pulmonary embolism, or sudden death .…”

Concomitant percutaneous aortic embolectomy and excision of left atrial myxoma in a child

Cardiac myxoma is rare in children and often associated with cerebrovascular events. Reported herein is the case of a 9-year-old boy who presented with acute obstruction of the aortic bifurcation associated with a huge left atrial (LA) myxoma, thereby leading to acute ischemia of the lower extremities. Immediate surgical removal of the LA myxoma with concomitant percutaneous embolectomy using a Forgathy catheter was done, with relief of ischemic symptoms. Cardiac myxoma should always be considered in the case of acute embolic events in children, given that it needs immediate intervention to prevent further complications.

“…[1] Myxomas occur in all age groups, most frequently between the third and sixth decades of life, and there is a female predominance. [2] About 75% of myxomas develop in the left atrium in both children and adults; 15-20% of myxomas develop in the right atrium and myxomas rarely arise in the ventricles.…”

Multimodality imaging of a subtotally obstructive right ventricular myxoma in an asymptomatic 10-year-old girl

et al. 2014

A 10-year-old girl presented with a supraventricular tachycardia. A heart murmur was detected during a clinical examination; therefore, echocardiography was performed. This revealed a giant right ventricular myxoma that subtotally obstructed the right ventricular outflow tract. A myxoma in the right ventricle is uncommon in children. This rare intracardiac tumor was examined using multimodality imaging, and the patient underwent surgical resection. The pathologic features confirmed our suspicion and revealed an encapsulated tumor with myxomatoid stroma containing focal hemorrhages.
