Primary benign tumours of the heart are rare, with myxomas being the commonest. They are neoplasms of endocardial origin and generally appear to grow rapidly. The presence of connective tissue fibers encrusted with iron and calcium known as Gamna Gandy bodies may indicate a longer duration of tumor. We present a case of cardiac myxoma with Gamna Gandy bodies, which is an infrequent finding, and briefly review relevant literature.
原发性心脏良性肿瘤较为罕见，其中黏液瘤最为常见。它们是心内膜起源的肿瘤，通常生长迅速。存在被称为Gamna Gandy小体的、覆有铁和钙的结缔组织纤维，可能提示肿瘤存在时间较长。我们报告一例伴有Gamna Gandy小体的心脏黏液瘤病例，这一发现并不常见，并简要回顾相关文献。
