BACKGROUND: Cardiac tumors are rare entities within cardiovascular pathology. Most primary cardiac neoplasms are benign and originate from mesenchymal tissue. Epidemiological data from tertiary referral centers remain limited in Latin America.
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to describe the prevalence and histological distribution of cardiac neoplasms resected at the Hospital de Cardiología, Centro Médico Nacional Siglo XXI, between 2012 and 2024.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective observational study was conducted. Medical records and histopathological reports of patients who underwent surgical resection of cardiac tumors between January 2012 and December 2024 were reviewed. Demographic characteristics, tumor location, and histological subtype were analyzed using descriptive statistics.
RESULTS: A total of 119 patients underwent surgical resection of cardiac tumors. The mean age at surgery was 56.7 ± 13.4 years, with a predominance of female patients (77.3%). The left atrium was the most frequent tumor location (84%). Histologically, cardiac myxoma was the most common neoplasm (92.4%), followed by papillary fibroelastoma (5.9%) and rhabdomyoma (0.8%). Only one malignant tumor (0.8%), corresponding to angiosarcoma, was identified.
CONCLUSIONS: Cardiac tumors remain rare entities, with a predominance of benign mesenchymal neoplasms. In this single-center series, cardiac myxoma was the most frequent tumor and predominantly affected middle-aged women, with the left atrium as the most common location.
