Benign non myxomatous cardiac tumors are rare. Between 1968 and 1988, 9 patients presenting benign non myxomatous cardiac tumors were operated in our institution. Tumors were: 2 rhabdomyomas, 2 lipomas, 2 fibromas, 1 pheochromocytomas, 1 mesothelioma and 1 papillary fibroelastoma. Total excision was possible in all cases but one (multiple fibromas). We hereby present a review of the literature on the subject. We focalize on the new imagery techniques in order to help the diagnosis and on the new surgical possibilities (cardiomyoplasty) which make possible complete surgical excision.

D008654 Mesothelioma A tumor derived from mesothelial tissue (peritoneum, pleura, pericardium). It appears as broad sheets of cells, with some regions containing spindle-shaped, sarcoma-like cells and other regions showing adenomatous patterns. Pleural mesotheliomas have been linked to exposure to asbestos. (Dorland, 27th ed) Mesotheliomas

D010673 Pheochromocytoma A usually benign, well-encapsulated, lobular, vascular tumor of chromaffin tissue of the ADRENAL MEDULLA or sympathetic paraganglia. The cardinal symptom, reflecting the increased secretion of EPINEPHRINE and NOREPINEPHRINE, is HYPERTENSION, which may be persistent or intermittent. During severe attacks, there may be HEADACHE; SWEATING, palpitation, apprehension, TREMOR; PALLOR or FLUSHING of the face, NAUSEA and VOMITING, pain in the CHEST and ABDOMEN, and paresthesias of the extremities. The incidence of malignancy is as low as 5% but the pathologic distinction between benign and malignant pheochromocytomas is not clear.
