[Malignant tumors of the heart from the viewpoint of the surgeon].
The authors present three cases of malignant affections of the heart. In two instances a primary haemangiosarcoma was involved which originated in the right atrium, in the third patient a secondary of a left ovarian carcinoma was involved. They draw attention to the similar symptomatology of the disease and the possibility of echocardiographic visualization of intracardiac formations. The possibilities of radical removal of malignant tumours of the heart are very limited and call for the use of extracorporeal circulation. The incidence of this disease is very rare.
