“…After surgical resection, the main difference between benign and malignant tumors is the survival rates 6,17,18 . In our series, surgical resection of PCT has good short and long‐term results; conversely, the prognosis of malignant types is poor.…”

Background: Primary cardiac tumors (PCT) are rare lesions but have the potential to cause significant morbidity if not timely treated. We reviewed our single-center experience in the surgical treatment of PCT with a focus on the long-term outcome.Methods: From 2001 to 2020, 57 consecutive patients underwent surgical resection of PCT at our Institution. Data including the demographic characteristics, tumor histology, surgical procedure, and postoperative outcomes were collected and analyzed.Results: Mean age at presentation was 63.6 ± 11.2 years, and 33 (57.9%) of the patients were female. A total of 55 (96.5%) subjects were diagnosed with benign cardiac tumor, while the remaining had malignant tumors. The most common histopathological type was myxoma. All patients survived to hospital discharge. Main postoperative complications were: acute kidney injury (n = 3), sepsis (n = 3), and stroke (n = 2). Mean follow-up time was 9 ± 5.9 years. Long-term mortality was 22.8% (13/57). No tumor recurrence was observed among survivors. There was a significant relationship between mortality and pathological characteristics of the tumor, and myxomas had higher survival rates. Conclusion:Surgical treatment of PCT is a safe and highly effective strategy associated with excellent short-term outcomes. Long-term survival remains poor for primary malignant tumors of the heart.

“…Prior to catheter-based techniques, the conventional approach to intracardiac masses and cavo/atrial thrombus has been either conservative medical therapy with anticoagulation or surgical excision in the case of malignancy with possible adjuvant chemotherapy and/or radiation [3] . The overall in-hospital mortality associated with surgical excision of right heart masses may be up to 40 % depending on etiology and presentation [4] , [5] . By comparison, a meta-analysis of 42 studies including 182 patients undergoing percutaneous aspiration of right heart masses showed an overall mortality rate of 14.8 % [6] .…”

“…Surgical resection is the treatment of choice for myxomas with low morbidity and mortality. Long-term mortality (>30 days) was 11.5%, with no in-hospital mortality in a study done on 131 patients, and the mean survival was reported to be 130.6 ± 4.5 months [ 9 ]. Our patient underwent a successful surgical resection along with valve repair.…”

The clinical features of cardiac myxoma vary significantly from asymptomatic to severe cardiovascular complications like atrioventricular valve obstruction and thromboembolism depending on the location, size, and mobility of the tumor. Echocardiography is the diagnostic study of choice, and surgical resection is the method of choice to prevent complications. We report a case of a 47-year-old female who presented with exertional dyspnea, malaise, and weight loss. Physical examination was significant for jugular venous distension, basal crackles in lungs, 2+ pedal edema, and rumbling diastolic murmur at apex. CT of the chest revealed a hypodense filling defect in the left atrium. Transthoracic echocardiogram showed a 5.5 × 4.5 cm mobile density, likely myxoma, attached to the interatrial septum and prolapsing into the left ventricle during the diastolic phase, causing functional mitral stenosis. She underwent a resection of cardiac myxoma. The histopathology report confirmed the diagnosis of myxoma, and post-operative recovery was uneventful.
