1. myxoma

   A myxoma is a type of benign tumor that primarily forms in connective tissue and is characterized by the presence of gelatinous material. The most common location for this type of tumor is the heart, specifically in the atrium, and it can potentially lead to life-threatening conditions due to its ability to obstruct blood flow. Myxomas can also form in other parts of the body, such as the skin, bones, or other organs. The cause of myxomas is generally unknown, but there may be a hereditary component in some cases. Treatment usually involves surgical removal of the tumor.
