ABSTRACT
Primary cardiac tumor is a rare disease, with an incidence ranging from 0.001 to 0.03%. Eighty percent of them are benign tumors, and among them 70% are myxomas, the others are fibroelastoma, rhabdomyoma, fibroma, angioma and lipoma. Primary malignant tumors of heart are in 95% of cases sarcomas, the remaining 5% are lymphomas. Cardiac's metastases are more frequent than primary tumors. Diagnosis is made by echocardiography TAC and MRI. Whereas surgery is indicated in patients with benign tumors, or localised sarcomas, chemotherapy in those with widespread disease and radiotherapy and chemotherapy in lymphoma. Prognosis is excellent in benign cardiac tumor. Mean survival for sarcomas is 11 months, and lymphoma 5 years.
