Primary cardiac tumours (CT) are rare lesions with an estimated incidence at necropsy ranging from 0.001% to 0.3%.1 Myxoma, which is the most frequent primary CT, rarely growths on valve tissue, unlike papillary fibroelastoma, which most often arises from the valvar endocardium.The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of valvar CT among a consecutive series of primary CT observed in a single cardiovascular pathology centre.

Abstract
Primary cardiac tumours (CT) are rare lesions with an estimated incidence at necropsy ranging from 0.001% to 0.3%.1 Myxoma, which is the most frequent primary CT, rarely growths on valve tissue, unlike papillary fibroelastoma, which most often arises from the valvar endocardium.The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of valvar CT among a consecutive series of primary CT observed in a single cardiovascular pathology centre.File in questo prodotto:
