RELAPSES OF CARDIAC MIXOMA

Аннотация

The article is devoted to a fairly rare pathology of the heart - neoplasms, of which in surgical terms the most famous benign tumors are myxomas of the heart. The frequency of this heart pathology is 0.0017-0.02% according to special literature. And relapses of heart tumors occur in the range of 2-4%. The authors decided to share their own experience of surgical treatment of 6 cases of relapse with a mixoma of the heart. Of particular interest, according to the authors, is a family case of cardiac myxoma with a similar course - with repeated relapses of the disease, despite an adequately performed first operation. The literature cites rare reports of repeated repeated surgeries for this variant of relapse, but the family case is extremely rare. According to the authors, an adequately performed first operation to remove the myxoma of the heart does not guarantee the possibility of recidives.
