ABSTRACT
Primary cardiac tumours of the heart are rare. Primary cardiac neoplasms are benign in 75% cases. Among the benign lesions about 40% are myxomas. Approximately 25% of primary cardiac neoplasms are malignant and almost all are sarcomas and lymphomas of varying types. Clinical evaluation has been augmented by echocardiography, angiography, radionuclide studies, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Benign tumours are amenable to resection and in selected patients with malignant cardiac disease surgical intervention may be feasible.
