Benign Tumors of the Heart
About 80% of primary tumors of the heart are benign. Other benign tumors of the heart include rhabdomyomas, fibromas, hemangiomas, lipomas,paragangliomas, myocytic hamartomas, and papillary fibroelastomas[1].
Malignant Tumors of the Heart
About 20% of primary tumors of the heart are malignant in nature. Malignant tumors of the heart include rhabdomyosarcomas, angiosarcomas, myxosarcomas,fibrosarcomas, leiomyosarcomas, reticulum cell sarcomas, and liposarcomas. The cardiac sarcomas may occur at any age, but are more commonly seen in individuals in their 20s to 40s. They occur equally in males and females.
Tumors of the Heart Valves
A subset of the primary tumors of the heart are tumors that involve the four heart valves, with equal distribution among the four heart valves.[1] The vast majority of these are papillary fibroelastomas. Primary tumors of the heart valves predominate in males and are generally benign. Heart valve tumors often have symptoms related to the valve, such as stroke and TIA, and infrequently sudden cardiac death.
