Echocardiography, 2004
Infected cardiac myxomas are extremely rare with only forty cases described in the literature. We report a case of an infected cardiac myxoma that presented in a manner similar to bacterial endocarditis. Our case is the first to be diagnosed using previously defined criteria, and is unusual in that transesophageal echocardiography was required to make

The nature of the cardiac myxoma
International Journal of Cardiology, 1996Ten archive cases of cardiac myxoma were evaluated for proliferative activity, metastatic potential and expression of oncogene/tumor suppressor gene products by means of PCNA, MIB1, nm23, p53, Bcl-2 and Rb-1 immunohistochemistry. The myxomas showed variable proliferative activity (PCNA 0-41%, average 12.6%, MIB1 0-13%, average 3.2%) contrasting with ...

The Fas-Mediated Apoptotic Pathway in Cardiac Myxoma
International Journal of Surgical Pathology, 2010 Cardiac myxoma is the most common primary tumor of the heart. The existence of apoptosis in cardiac myxoma has been demonstrated. The purpose of this investigation was to elucidate the pathway of apoptosis and the cell cycle in cardiac myxomas.

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1992
The majority of cardiac myxomas occur sporadically as isolated lesions in the left atrium of middle-aged women. However, a "familial" form and a "syndrome" form of this lesion have been identified. The syndrome myxoma can present with pigmented skin lesions and peripheral or endocrine neoplasms.

Zentralblatt für Veterinärmedizin Reihe A, 1979
SummaryA cardiac tumour attached to papillary muscle in the right ventricle of a young steer was classified, on light and electron microscopic features, as a myxoma. From electron microscopic findings the cell of origin was thought to be a multipotent vasoformative reserve cell.ZusammenfassungAufgrund licht‐ und elektronenmikroskopischer ...

Brain Metastasis of Cardiac Myxoma: Case Report and Review of the Literature
Journal of Neuro-Oncology, 2005 Cardiac myxoma is the most common benign heart tumor. Cardiac myxoma can be a sporadic lesion (93% of cases) and usually occurs in women over 30 years. Complete surgical removal of the myxoma and its cardiac attachment is usually curative.

New England Journal of Medicine, 1995
Although cardiac myxomas are histologically benign, they may be lethal because of their strategic position. They can mimic not only every cardiac disease but also infective, immunologic, and malignant processes. Myxomas must therefore be included in the differential diagnosis of valvular heart disease, cardiac insufficiency, cardiomegaly, bacterial ...

Ultrastructure of a Cardiac Myxoma
American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1970A cardiac myxoma of the left atrium was studied by means of the electron microscope. A single cell type was seen, occurring predominantly as closely-apposed groups of 3 to 6 cells, and characterized by extensively anastomosing microvilli forming peripheral intracytoplasmic membrane-bound spaces (some of which may have been the result of cellular ...

The Dangers of Cardiac Myxomas
Progress in Cardiovascular Nursing, 2007A variety of cardiac tumors have been acknowledged in the literature since the 16th century as rare forms of cardiac disease. Of the primary tumors, myxomas account for at least 30% to 50% of benign tumors. Despite significant advances in cardiac diagnostics leading to early recognition of myxomas, the potential for deleterious effects secondary to ...

Echocardiography, 2004
Atypical cardiac myxomas are a rare occurrence and may present with a variety of clinical manifestations depending on the morphology and location. We present three cases of myxomas located atypically on the left atrial appendage ridge, chordae of the mitral valve, and right atrium. Echocardiography plays a prominent role in the diagnosis and follow‐up
