Primary cardiac tumors are quite rare pathology in newborns. The most common of it is rhabdomyoma. Myxomas, in contrast to the adult population, are much less common. Aim. In our report we present our experience in treating newborns with cardiac tumors. Material and Methods. We report two clinical cases. The children were taken to hospital in urgent order with critical hemodynamic disorders caused by tumor process. The tumors were removed during urgent surgeries. According to histological study these were myxomas. Results and discussion. During further observation no signs of tumors recurrences were detected. For successful treatment of cardiac tumors is very important timely diagnosis, that can be difficult due to the lack of specific symptoms in children. Conclusions. Echocardiography is a key method of diagnosis of such conditions. Surgical treatment is the method of choice in this pathology.

Primary Cardiac Tumors

Primary cardiac tumors are very rare and the majority of them are histologically benign and surgically curable. During a 30-year period from 1963 to January 1993, 45 cases of primary cardiac tumors were surgically excised at the National Taiwan University Hospital, representing 0.52% of 8,695 open heart surgical cases during the same period. In this series, 42 cases (94%) were benign tumors; 39 (88%) were myxoma (30 female, 9 male), and 32 (82%) originated in the left atrium. None were discovered in the left ventricle. In all but the first 6 cases, tumors in patients with myxoma in the left atrium were successfully excised by the transseptal approach. There were 3 patients with rare benign tumors: intracardiac goiter, rhabdomyoma, and hemangioma respectively. The intracardiac goiter was completely excised with no ectopic thyroid tissue after operation and the other 2 received palliative resection. The latter 2 patients suffered no recurrence. Rhabdomyosarcoma, leiomyosarcoma and malignant lymphoma were noted in one patient each, all of whom died of low cardiac output in the early postoperative course. In our experience, the majority of primary cardiac tumors were benign and located in the left atrium. The long-term result of surgical treatment of benign cardiac tumors is excellent, even incases of incomplete resection, while the results from surgical treatment of malignant tumors is poor.

Primary Cardiac Tumors

During a 16-year period from 1980 to 1996, 101 patients with primary cardiac tumors underwent surgery at the 1st Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University, which represented 2.44% of 4142 open-heart surgical cases during this period. Most tumors were benign; 94 were myxomas, 2 were fibromas, and 1 was a hemangioma. Three myxomas were in the right atrium and 91 were in the left atrium. The 4 malignant tumors comprised 2 mesothelioma, 1 histiocytoma, and 1 right atrial malignant myxoma. All benign tumors were completely excised with 4.95% mortality. Only 1 malignant tumor was completely excised. In our experience, the long-term result of surgical treatment of benign cardiac tumors is excellent, whereas the prognosis for patients with malignant cardiac tumors is very poor. The incidence of malignant tumors was lower than in other studies.
