Hello MIke1955,
Below you will find the results of my research forimages of cardiac tumors.
======
Myxoma
======
?The left atrium has been opened to reveal the most common primary
cardiac neoplasm--an atrial myxoma. These benign masses are most often
attached to the atrial wall, but can arise on a valve or in a
ventricle. They can produce a "ball valve" effect by intermittently
occluding the atrioventricular valve orifice. Embolization of
fragments of tumor may also occur. Myxomas are easily diagnosed by
echocardiography.?

This is a myxoma, the most common primary neoplasm of the heart. This
tumor, usually occurring at this site, is benign, but may act as a
ball valve, obstructing the mitral valve and leading to heart failure.

"This is a bisected myxoma measuring 4-5 cm in greatest diameter. The
relatively smooth but nodular variegated surface is seen on the left,
and the cut surface on the right. The cut surface has a mucoid
glistening variegated appearence characteristic of myxomatous tumors.
This is a solid mass lesion, but some cardiac myxomas have a delicate
papillary form similar to a sea anemone. The individual papillae can
break off, embolize, and thereby call attention to the possible
presence of a cardiac myxoma, among other possibilities."

mitral valve leaflet of an asymptomatic individual (who had an
echocardiographic study as a part of an insurance physical).

"Left atrial myxomas.
A. More polypoid and irregular.
B. Smooth surfaced and rounded. Attachment to and portion of the
atrial septum is seen on each tumor.
C. An asymptomatic sessile myxoma attached above the posterior leaflet
of the mitral valve was found coincidentally at necropsy."

This two year old child died suddenly. At autopsy, a large firm, white
tumor mass was found filling much of the left ventricle. This is a
cardiac rhabdomyoma. Such primary tumors of the heart are rare.

Cardiac Sarcoma, , Fig. 1
ECG gated spin-echo MR image demonstrates an extensive tumour
(angiosarcoma) which infiltrates along the wall of the right atrium
and extends outside the atrium into the pericardial sac. Note the
tumour (arrows) situated lateral to the epicardial fat of the right
ventricle. http://www.amershamhealth.com/medcyclopaedia/Volume%20V%202/SARCOMA%20CARDIAC.asp

This is an angiosarcoma arising in the epicardium in the groove
between the right atrium and right ventricle.

The cardiac Angiosarcoma, is most common primary malignant tumour of
the heart. The most frequent site is the right atrium but any chamber
can be the site of origin.

Metastatic carcinoma to heart
=============================
Primary tumors of the heart are uncommon. Metastases to the heart are
more common, but rare overall (only about 5 to 10% of all malignancies
have cardiac metastases). Seen over the surface of the epicardium are
pale white-tan nodules of metastatic tumor. Metastases may lead to a
hemorrhagic pericarditis.

1. Direct extension by an adjacent tumor such as lung, breast, or

2. Venous (intravascular) extension in tumors such as renal cell
carcinoma and hepatoma.
3. Hematogenous spread in melanoma, (usually affecting myocardium,
although valvular or intracavitary involvement can rarely occur),
sarcoma, and lymphoma.
