Clinicopathologic review of non-myxoma cardiac tumors: a 10-year single-center experience.
[liposarcoma]
To
report
the
prevalence
,
clinical
presentation
and
histological
characteristics
of
non-myxoma
cardiac
tumors
in
a
major
tertiary
heart
center
.
Review
of
the
medical
profiles
of
36
,
930
patients
admitted
to
our
hospital
between
2003
and
2013
yielded
a
total
of
86
cases
of
cardiac
tumors
(
63
cases
of
myxomas
and
23
cases
of
non-myxoma
tumors
)
.
Clinical
presentations
and
histological
features
were
presented
exclusively
for
primary
and
secondary
tumors
.
Of
23
enrolled
patients
with
non-myxoma
tumors
,
5
had
primary
tumors
and
18
had
secondary
or
metastatic
tumors
.
The
most
frequent
origins
of
the
secondary
tumors
were
breast
cancer
,
lymphoma
,
leukemia
and
lung
cancer
.
Most
secondary
tumors
had
pericardial
involvement
,
and
only
one
tumor
involved
the
left
atrium
.
Sarcomas
,
including
spindle-cell
sarcoma
and
liposarcoma
,
comprised
the
majority
of
the
primary
malignant
tumors
.
None
of
these
tumors
had
pericardial
involvement
,
and
,
except
for
one
case
,
all
were
confined
to
the
left
side
of
the
heart
.
All
patients
were
symptomatic
on
admission
,
with
dyspnea
being
the
most
frequent
presenting
symptom
.
Metastatic
cardiac
tumors
were
more
prevalent
than
the
primary
ones
,
with
fibromas
constituting
the
largest
proportion
of
the
primary
tumors
and
breast
cancer
being
the
prevalent
cause
of
metastasis
.
