... Primary cardiac tumours are mostly benign, being in 50% of the cases a cardiac myxoma. The rest of them correspond to papillary fibroelastoma (26%), fibromas (6%), lipomas (4%), and others including calcified tumours, haemangiomas, teratomas, cysts, and rhabdomyomas. Our clinical case illustrates...

... for the treatment of primary cardiac tumours. However, due to the inaccessibility of anatomy and the proximity of important structures, it is very difficult to completely resect tumours of the left atrium or left ventricle without damaging the normal tissues. Cardiac autotransplantation for the resection of cardiac...

[email protected] 2014 Abstract Cardiac papillary fibroelastomas (CPFs) are one of the most common benign cardiac tumours. However, due to their location and pedunculated nature, they are associated with substantial complications secondary to systemic embolization or coronary ostial obstruction. Surgical...

... echocardiogram played an important role in diagnosis of left atrial mass. High index of suspicion is required to diagnose left atrial tumour as initially it can present as pneumonia or congestive heart failure and left atrial tumours are not always the myxoma.
