The malignant potentiality of left atrial myxoma.
TLDR
The clinical course of 3 men, ages 48 to 64 years, whose left atrial myxoma recurred or metastasized following resection is presented, and radical excision of the atrial septum with prosthetic replacement of the resulting defect is recommended to excise the tumor adequately and help eliminate foci of recurrence.About:

TL;DR: Five patients had a "complex" of unusual findings including multiple pigmented skin lesions (lentiginosis), myxoid fibroadenomas of the breast, skin myxomas, and primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease (a cause of Cushing's syndrome).

TL;DR: Good early and late results were obtained in patients with benign lesions, as there was no known tumor recurrence even if resection was incomplete, but more effective adjuvant therapy will be necessary to improve long-term prognosis.

Malignant tumours of the heart: a review of tumour type, diagnosis and therapy.
TL;DR: There are limited published data concerning cardiac neoplasms, and a high level of suspicion is required for early diagnosis, so a multi-treatment approach, including chemotherapy, radiation as well as evolving approaches such as gene therapy, might provide a better palliative and curative result.

TL;DR: A series of 75 cardiac tumors in 74 patients operated on at La Pitie Hospital between 1972 and 1989 survived operation, although 4 died in the early postoperative period; hence, prognosis remained unchanged.

Clinical aspects of cardiac tumors
TL;DR: It has become increasingly apparent that it is necessary to alert the physician to the clinical manifestations of cardiac tumors, and it is certainly true that unless one thinks of the possibility of cardiac tumor, diagnosis will be made by the pathologist in the autopsy moon.

Cerebral angiography in cardiac myxoma. Correlation of angiographic and histopathological findings
TL;DR: A report of 3 cases illustrates the cerebral angiographic findings which can be encountered in left atrial myxoma with cerebral embolization, and suggests this rare variety, neoplastic, should probably be added to the classical six varieties of aneurysm.
