Abstract
- Cardiac tumors are uncommon, with primary cardiac tumors being exceedingly rare. Benign primary cardiac tumors are more common than malignant primary cardiac tumors. Common benign cardiac tumors include myxoma, lipoma, papillary fibroelastoma, rhabdomyoma, fibroma, hemangioma, and paraganglioma. Malignant cardiac tumors include metastasis, angiosarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, and lymphoma. Clinical presentation depends on tumor pathology, location, and hemodynamic effects. Echocardiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging often play a key role in differentiating between benign and malignant tumors, assessing the extent of tumor involvement, presurgical planning and management, and postoperative follow-up of cardiac masses.
