Original Research
Between I 9H I and 1993,30 cases of primary cardiac tumors were diagnosed
at the Imam Khomeini Hospital. 20 patients were female and 10 were male, with
an average age of 32 years (ranging from 17 days to 65 years of age). The mean
duration of symptoms before diagnosis was 6 months, with dyspnea and palpitation
being the most common symptoms (60%) and cardiac' murmurs the most usual
signs (X4%). The diagnosis of cardiac tumors was made by echocardiography in
all patients.
Transesophageal echocardiography and cardiac catheterization were
performed in X and LJ patients respectively for more precise localization of the
tumor and evaluation of the coronary arteries. The left atrium was the only site of
tumor in 60%. 4 patients had tumors in more than one chamber. 27 patients
underwent surgery without mortality while J patients did not undergo surgery.
Pathological examination revealed benign myxoma in 23 patients, fibroma (1
patient), round cell sarcoma (1 patient), chondrosarcoma (1 patient), liposarcoma
(1 patient), and undifferentiated sarcoma (1 patient).
