Objective: Retrospective study of surgical pathology experience on cardiac and pericardial tumors at the University of Padua in the era of immunohistochemistry and endomyocardial biopsy.
Methods: In the period 1970-1995, we studied 125 bioptic primary neoplasms: specimens were obtained from surgical resection in 116 cases, heart transplantation in 3, pericardiectomy in 3, endomyocardial biopsy in 2 and thoracoscopic biopsy in 1. Tumor histotype was established by light microscopy and more recently by immuno-histochemistry, using a large panel of antibodies, through avidin-biotin peroxidase method, against factor VIII-related antigen, ulex-europaeus, desmin, myoglobin, muscle-specific actin, smooth muscle-specific actin, vimentin, cytokeratins, leukocytic common antigen, neurofilaments and S100-protein.
