was changed:
Primary malignant cardiac tumours are rare, and account for only ~25% of primary cardiac tumours, and only a small proportion of all malignant tumours which involve the heart: direct extension of adjacent tumours or metastatic deposits are far more common. Histologcal types include 1:
-
cardiac angiosarcoma
- most common
- accounts for 35 - 40% of all malignant primary cardiac tumours
- malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH)
- osteosarcoma
- haemangiopericytoma
