| Popis: | PRIMARY intracardiac tumors of theheart are rare. The commonest primarytumor is myxoma, found almost exclusivelyin the atria, 75 or mnore occurring in theleft atrium. Mahaim' reported 200 primarycardiac tumors in 1945, from the world liter-ature up to that time. Strauss and Merliss2reviewed 480,331 autopsies from the LosAngeles County Hospital and were able toreport 8 cases of myxoma occurring in theleft atrium.Myxoma originating in the ventricles ap-pears to be extremely rare. A well-doeu-mented pathologic study of a left ventric-ular myxoma with embolic occlusion of theabdominal aorta and renal arteries was pub-lished by Young and Hunter3 in 1957.
