Cardiac sarcoma is a type of tumor that occurs in the heart.
Cardiac sarcomas are malignant, or cancerous. Tumors are considered to be either primary tumors or secondary tumors. A primary tumor is the original site of tumor growth. A secondary tumor originates from another tumor elsewhere in the body. Primary tumors of the heart are present in 0.001 to 0.28 percent of autopsies in the general population.
