Around 75% of primary heart tumors are benign, and 50-80% are cardiac myxoma. Echocardiography is the gold standard in detecting tumor mass in the heart. With the development of diagnostic modalities and cardiac surgery techniques, cardiac myxoma can be detected and treated correctly and leading to a better prognosis.

Conclusion: This series of cases reported six intracardiac tumor patients who were found through echocardiographic examination and five patients had open heart surgery for tumor resection; also all histopathological examination results were following cardiac myxoma. There were no reported post-treatment complications and the patients were discharged hemodynamically stable after hospitalized for approximately one week. Until now, there have been no reports of recurrence in patients who have taken resection and patients have normal daily life activities.
