 ==Causes==
-A myxoma is a primary heart (cardiac) tumor. This means that the tumor started within the heart. Most heart tumors start somewhere else.  A tumor that originates elsewhere is called a [[metastatic]] tumor to the heart.
+There are no established causes for Myxoma.
-Primary cardiac tumors are rare.  [[Left atrial myxoma|Myxomas]] are the most common type of these rare tumors. About 75% of myxomas occur in the [[left atrium]] of the heart, usually growing out of the wall that divides the two upper chambers of the heart. The rest are in the [[right atrium]]. Right atrial myxomas sometimes cause mechanical blockage of the heart valve a condition called [[tricuspid stenosis]] and an regular heartbeat, [[atrial fibrillation]].
