Does the heart ever develop cancer?

670 views

It seems like most cancers are organ-specific (lung, ovary, skin, etc) but I’ve never heard of heart cancer. Is there a reason why?

Edit: Wow! Thanks for all the interesting feedback and comments! I had no idea my question would spark such a fascinating discussion! I learned so much!

My uncle had one of the rare cases of this, and even rarer he survived and made a full recovery. I am not sure what the exact type of issue it was but I do know specifically it was a tumor growing on the heart muscle, and the treatment amazingly took care of it and he is doing just great to this day.
