Primary heart tumors are very rare. They can be benign and malignant. Benign ones make about two thirds of all heart tumors. However, they are benign only by their biologic characteristics, but potentially malignant by their localization. About three forths of benign tumors are myxomas. Their growth is usually slow and they can be for a long time silent, particularly if they do not compromise vital functional parts of the heart. Myxomas grow in the atria, mostly in the left one and very rarely in the ventricles.
