    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To analyze the relation between the pathological changes and the prognosis of cardiac tumors through the clinicopathological study on 41 cases of cardiac tumors. METHODS: The study was carried out by using the common and special histochemical stainings. RESULTS: 39(95.1%) tumors were benign, including myxoma, fibroma, and rhabdomyoma; while 2(4.9%) tumors were malignant, including neurofibrosarcoma and malignant mesothelioma. In the myxomas group, 75% patients were female, 91.7% tumors existed in the left atrium. CONCLUSIONS: The results of the clinicopathological study showed that the cardiac tumors were quite different from the tumors in the other sites, i.e. even benign ones could cause fatal hemodynamic disturbance, hence early diagnosis and early operation are necessary. The prognosis of the malignant tumors is worst.
