Abstract
Cardiac tumors are generally benign. But its danger lies not in its
potential malignancy, but in its location. These tumors settle inside
the cardiac cavities, at the origin or mouth of the great vessels or
even on the valves. This can obviously lead to life-threatening
complications, either due to mechanical causes or disturbances in
the electrical conduction of the heart.
