Cardiac tumors may be primary (benign or malignant) or metastatic (malignant). Myxoma, a benign primary tumor, is the most common type. Cardiac tumors may occur in any cardiac tissue. They can cause valvular or inflow-outflow tract obstruction, thromboembolism, arrhythmias, or pericardial disorders.
Malignant tumors that originated elsewhere in the body and spread to the heart are more common than ones that originate in the heart. Malignant tumors, including carcinomas, sarcomas, leukemias and reticuloendotheliar tumors, can spread to any heart tissue. Lung and breast cancers often invade the heart.
