Detailed explanation-1: -Cardiac sarcoma is a rare type of primary malignant (cancerous) tumor that occurs in the heart. A primary cardiac tumor is one that starts in the heart. A secondary cardiac tumor starts somewhere else in the body and then spreads to the heart.
Detailed explanation-2: -A myxoma is a primary heart (cardiac) tumor. This means that the tumor started within the heart. Most heart tumors start somewhere else. Primary cardiac tumors such as myxomas are rare.
Detailed explanation-3: -Angiosarcoma. Cardiac angiosarcomas, malignancies of endothelial cells, are the most common primary differentiated cardiac neoplasms. They predominantly affect individuals aged 40–50 years but have been described in all age groups [22]. They occur most commonly in the right atrium but can develop in any chambers [23].
