Impact of heart myxoma localization upon its clinical course and outcome [PDF]
Introduction. 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.

Intracardiac Extension of Lung Carcinoma Presenting as an Atrial Myxoma: A Case Report
ABSTRACT Left atrial (LA) mass is most commonly presumed to be a cardiac myxoma, as it is approximately 75% of primary cardiac tumors, with a strong predilection for the LA. In rare instances, primary lung carcinoma may extend to the LA, creating an intracardiac mass indistinguishable from a myxoma on initial echocardiographic assessment.
