Microscopic study of surgical resections is crucial for the differential diagnosis of cardiac masses, with myxoma being the most common benign primary tumor.
Cristina Basso (1997) conducted an observational in Primary cardiac and pericardial tumors (n=125). Surgical pathology and immunohistochemistry was evaluated on Tumor histotype and malignancy status. Among 125 primary cardiac and pericardial tumors, 113 were benign (most frequently myxoma, 87 cases) and 12 were malignant, highlighting the crucial role of thorough microscopic study.
