Cardiac Tumor

In this article I want to talk about heart diseases that are not very common and can affect any part of the heart, so a few people actually know something about them.

There are two types of cardiac tumor: benign and malign.

1) Benign tumors
1.1) Myxoma
This condition represents a cardiac benign tumor, which develops inside the cavities of your heart and usually occurs in the left atrium of the heart so that it will affect the blood flow from inside your heart. Most common symptoms of this heart disease are: weight loss, fever and it can go until death happens.

1.2) Rhabdomyomas
This condition usually happens at children and infants. This tumor is usually found in the myocardium or in the endocardium and is responsible for one in four cases of heart tumors causing cardiac insufficiency. Most common symptoms for this illness are: chest pain, and nausea.

1.3) Fibromas
These tumors usually evolves in the myocardium or in the endocardium, and affects the valves of the heart. If you cannot see or feel this tumor you can't identify it because there aren't any symptoms related to this disease.

1.4) Teratomas of the pericardium
This disease usually evolves on the main blood vessels and it in most cases it is find at infants. This disease is quite rare and like the other one it does not cause any symptoms.

2) Malignant tumors
This type of tumors develops in other part of the body and from there it spreads to the heart. This tumors are seen in most cases than benign tumors, it can originate from any heart tissue and evolves in most cases in children.

2.1) Angiosarcomas
This is responsible for over a third of malign heart tumors and usually starts spreading from the right side of the heart. Until know the causes for this tumor are not very clear and the symptoms of this disease depend on the location and stage of the tumor.

2.2) Fibrosarcomas
This condition usually develops as a primary or secondary bone tumor. Until know are known two types of fibrosarcoma of bone:

2.2.1) First one is primary fibrosarcoma which is a disease that produces variable amounts of collagen

2.2.2) The second one is called secondary fibrosarcoma of bone and it usually develops from a lesion that exists on the body or after a radiotherapy. Most common symptoms for this disease may be: broken bones, pain, urination very often and obstructed urination.
