ABSTRACT
A series of 29 cardiac tumors were operated in Asturias Central Hospital between 1974 and 1994. There were 23 benign and 6 malignant tumors. Among the benign neoplasms, 22 were myxomas and 1 lipoma; there were 6 remalignant tumors, one pulmonary artery sarcoma, two rhabdomyosarcoma, one mesothelioma and two lymphomas. We review the clinical findings of these patients. Long-term results were excellent in patients with benign lesions, and only one recurrence was found. In patients with malignant tumors, surgical procedures were only palliative and aimed at prolonging life; hence, prognosis remained unchanged.
