Primary tumors of the heart (myxoma) are quite rare diseases that occur with a frequency from 0.0017 to 0.02 % in the structure of cardiac pathology. An analysis of the library semantics of clinical manifestations and of its own clinical observations indicates that the heart myxoma is oligosymptomatic or asymptomatic in the early stages of development of the pathology, but polymorphism and lack of the symptoms’ specificity in the future, even with gigantic tumor size. Therefore, in the diagnosis of the heart myxoma, their visualization by using of echocardioscopy and computer magnetic resonance imaging for topical diagnosis and determination of tumor mobility, its size, degree of vascularization, and assessment of the heart valves status. The radical treatment method is the resection of myxoma with adjacent tissues with further plastic tissue defect correction and correction accompanying valve dysfunction.
