| pubmed-article:2635939 | pubmed:abstractText | Between 1979 and 1985, seven patients (five children and two adults) were treated for primary cardiac tumours other than benign atrial myxomas. There were five malignant neoplasms (two non-classifiable sarcomas, one haemangiosarcoma, one histiocytoma and one neurofibrosarcoma) and two benign tumours (fibromas). Echocardiography, cardiac catheterisation, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging provided diagnostic confirmation. The two patients with fibroma are alive and well 4 and 5 years after radical resection of the tumours from the interventricular septum. The patient with a neurofibrosarcoma underwent orthotopic cardiac transplantation and is well 5.5 years postoperatively with no evidence of residual disease or recurrence. One patient died awaiting a donor heart for transplantation. Another patient who was a candidate for heart and lung transplantation was found to have an unresectable tumour at the time of operation. One patient with sarcoma who underwent a successful emergency partial resection for relief of cardiac tamponade died 18 months later from widespread metastases. The seventh patient was inoperable due to multiple secondaries. It is concluded that radical resection of large, benign, cardiac tumours can give good results and that early cardiac transplantation probably offers the only hope for patients with malignant tumours of the heart. | lld:pubmed |
