| Popis: | Neoplasms of the heart may be divided into primary (benign or malignant) and secondary (metastatic). Primary cardiac neoplasms are rare, but may occur at any age. The majority are benign, the most common being the myxoma, which develops as a polypoid mass usually arising from the left atrium (LA). Sarcoma and rhabdomyoma are the second and third most common primary neoplasms of the heart. Other rare benign neoplasms (hamartoma, fibroma, fibromyxoma, lymphangioendothelioma) and malignant neoplasms (lymphosarcoma, fibrosarcoma, leiomyosarcoma and rhabdomyosarcoma) have been reported. Cardiac neoplasms are further classified by their location in and around the heart (e.g., intracavitary, myocardial or intramural, pericardial). The myxoma, the polypoid fibroma and the sarcoma arise from the endocardium (intracavitary tumors), whereas the rhabdomyoma and myocardial fibroma originate from the myocardium (intramural tumors). Neoplasms of pericardial origin are mesothelioma, lipoma, pericardial fibroma and angioma. Teratoma may also occur within the pericardium. |
