Overview

• Cardiac tumors are classified as either primary or secondary based on their origin.
• Primary tumors can be categorized as benign, malignant, or intermediate.

Classification

In 2015, the World Health Organization (WHO) changed the classification of cardiac neoplasms, including benign tumors, tumor-like lesions, malignant tumors, and pericardial tumors.

• Now, cardiac tumors are categorized into primary and secondary.
