Abstract

Primary cardiac tumors are quite rare pathology in newborns. The most common of it is rhabdomyoma. Myxomas, in contrast to the adult population, are much less common.

Aim. In our report we present our experience in treating newborns with cardiac tumors. Material and

Methods. We report two clinical cases. The children were taken to hospital in urgent order with critical hemodynamic disorders caused by tumor process. The tumors were removed during urgent surgeries. According to histological study these were myxomas.

Results and discussion. During further observation no signs of tumors recurrences were detected. For successful treatment of cardiac tumors is very important timely diagnosis, that can be difficult due to the lack of specific symptoms in children.

Conclusions. Echocardiography is a key method of diagnosis of such conditions. Surgical treatment is the method of choice in this pathology.
