title: [Clinico-morphologic analysis of primary and metastatic tumors of the heart].
abstract: The analysis of 7358 autopsies performed in 1966-1986 showed that cardiac tumors were detected in 94 cases (1.27%) and accounted for 4.9% of cancer and 5.48% of cardiac disease cases. Detailed characteristics are provided for 9 primary tumors, of these 3 were assessed clinically and morphologically, (left ventricular elastofibroma, left ventricular pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma, left atrial embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma). Primary metastases of pulmonary localization were recorded in 47.9% of cases. Metastatic involvement of the heart presented in 85 cases (1.15% of autopsies, 4.43% of cancer cases, 5% of cardiac affections, 90.42% of cardiac tumors). Cardiac compartments were evaluated for the frequency of tumor emergence.
