Brief Answer:
Benign tumor, increases risk of clot, surgical excision cures!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear this about your daughter. This is a soft tissue tumor of the heart. It is a friendly tumor because it does not cause distant damage like cancers and can be treated fully by surgical excision. I will recommend this to your daughter. In the mean time, she need blood thinners so as to avoid blood clots which are common with this type of tumor.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
