Journal of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography, 2008
A 63-year-old man who was a retired truck driver had undergone four-vessel coronary-artery bypass grafting and was well, with no recurrent symptoms. However, on follow-up stress echocardiography to assess left ventricular function 14 months later, mild dilatation of the left atrium was noted, and a mass (3.2 by 1.6 cm) adhering to the left atrial ...

Sir .—We noted with interest the report by Dunnigan et al (Journal1981;135:420-421) of a child with left atrial myxoma. Left atrial myxoma is a rare lesion in the pediatric age group, with high morbidity and mortality if undiagnosed. The tumor may be associated with constitutional symptoms, with peripheral embolization, and with obstruction of left ...

Myxoma is the most common primary tumor of the heart. It is uncommon for these tumors to become infected and, at times, clinical presentation is no different from that of an uninfected myxoma. We describe the case of a 58-year-old woman with a previous pharyngeal infection that developed into infection of a left atrial myxoma and which was complicated ...

Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, 2001
Upon examination, a 40-year-old man was found to have fever, weight loss, and malaise. A blood culture was positive for Streptococcus mutans. Under the suspicion of endocarditis, he was treated with penicillin. Echocardiography revealed a large tumor in the left atrium.

The presence of a left atrial (LA) myxoma may be suspected where there are symptoms and signs consistent with mitral valve disease of a relentlessly progressive nature, often accompanied by syncope or embolization.1Alterations in symptomatology and physical signs, with changes in posture and constitutional manifestations suggestive of a chronic ...

8 patients with atrial myxoma were reviewed. They ranged from 5 years to 55 years. Recently echocardiography has been the most helpful diagnostic procedure. Hemodynamically they simulated mitral valve disease with severe pulmonary hypertension. Tumour was demonstrated by angiocardiography. One of these tumours presented into the right atrium through an

Based on statistics from the UK, the incidence of myxoma is about 1:1 000000/year. Three recent cases of recurrent myxoma are reported, one where excision was probably incomplete, one where tumour implantation may have occurred and one where a mesenchymal sarcoma was misinterpreted histologically.
