Abstract: Most heart tumors are metastases to other primary tumors, but if it is a primary tumor, then most common is a myxoma. Myxoma is a benign tumor, which due to its location can produce from heart failure or embolisms, to systemic symptoms. The diagnosis of myxoma is made with imaging techniques (echocardiogram, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging). Treatment of mixoma is surgical.
