title: [Surgical treatment of tumors of the heart].
abstract: The authors present an account on four cases of cardiac myxoma and two cases of a secondary malignant tumour. Despite the low incidence of cardiac tumours this disease must be taken into consideration. The diagnosis was established by echocardiography and angiography. Two-dimensional echocardiography is, however, often sufficient. Early surgical treatment has very favourable results in bening tumours. The prognosis of patients with malignant tumours is very poor and experience with treatment is scanty.
