Summary
Definition
O mixoma é o tumor cardíaco mais comum e constitui 50% de todos os tumores cardíacos benignos em adultos, mas representa apenas 15% desses tumores em crianças. Cerca de 75% dos tumores cardíacos primários são benignos. A maioria dos mixomas é encontrada no átrio esquerdo (75%), e em frequências decrescentes no átrio direito, no ventrículo direito e no ventrículo esquerdo.[Figure caption and citation for the preceding image starts]: Grande mixoma atrial esquerdoDo acervo do Dr. Syed Wamique Yusuf, Departamento de Cardiologia, University of Texas, MD Anderson Cancer Center; usada com permissão [Citation ends].
