Based on statistics from the UK, the incidence of myxoma is about 1:1,000,000/year. Three recent cases of recurrent myxoma are reported, one where excision was probably incomplete, one where tumour implantation may have occurred and one where a mesenchymal sarcoma was misinterpreted histologically. The relative importance of these three factors in recurrence of cardiac tumours after surgical excision is discussed.
根据英国的统计数据，黏液瘤的发病率约为每年1:1,000,000。本文报告了三例复发性黏液瘤病例，一例切除可能不完全，一例可能发生了肿瘤种植，还有一例间叶性肉瘤在组织学上被误诊。本文讨论了这三个因素在心脏肿瘤手术切除后复发中的相对重要性。
