- Cardiac Tumors were first described by Realdo Colombo in 1559.[1]
- In 1936, Beck and Maurer were the first to resect right ventricular teratoma. They also resected a left ventricular lipoma in 1951.[2]
- In 1952, left atrial myxoma was successfully excised by Bahnson and Newman through a right atriotomy. Unfortunately, the patient succumbed to the procedure after 24 days.[3]
