Case report: Cardiac myxoid fibrosarcoma: a report of two cases.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The research into cardiac tumors can be traced back to the 18th century, when Bonet first introduced the relevant concept. It was not until 1936 that the first successful resection of a cardiac tumor was performed. From a pathological origin perspective, cardiac tumors can be categorized into two main types: primary tumors, which originate from the heart itself, and secondary tumors, which result from metastases of malignant tumors in other tissues or organs. Primary cardiac tumors are exceedingly rare, among primary cardiac tumors, roughly 75% are benign, while the remainder are malignant. In contrast, approximately 75% of primary malignant cardiac tumors are sarcomas. Cardiac myxoid fibrosarcoma stands out as a particularly rare diagnosis in this domain.
