Abstract

Cardiac myxoma is the most common primary tumor of the heart. Between 1970 and 1998, 33 myxomas from patients operated at the Cardiosurgical Department were submitted for pathological examination. A review of age, sex and clinical symptoms of the patients as well as of gross and histological features of the tumors is presented. Immunohistochemical examination was performed on 10 selected myxomas-reactivity to vimentin, desmin, S-100 protein, cytokeratin and FVIIIR-Ag. The necessity of histological examination of the embolectomy material is stressed.
