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 ...

Regrowth of a Left Atrial Myxoma
Chest, 1973The clinical, hemodynamic, surgical and pathologic features of a regrowth of a left atrial myxoma are presented. It is suggested that peeling off the left atrial myxoma coupled with resection of the portion of the atrial septum to which the tumor is attached be carried out Transitory complete heart block appeared within 24 hours following the second ...

Pediatrics, 1972
A 9-year-old female presented with mitral regurgitation, heart failure, fever, abnormal serum proteins, elevated sedimentation rate, and elevated antihyaluronidase titer. At first thought to have rheumatic fever, she initially responded favorably to medical therapy which included corticosteroids.

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 Left Atrial “Medusa Myxoma”
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2014Although myxomas are the most commonly seen primary cardiac tumors, encompassing 30% to 50% of all primary tumors of the heart, they remain a rare finding with an annual reported incidence of 0.5 per million. The presenting symptoms of an atrial myxoma are widely varied as are the clinical consequences.

Neovascularization in left atrial myxoma
Zeitschrift f�r Kardiologie, 2004Myxoma is the most common benign tumor of the heart. Tumor neovascularization at the angiographically detectable level is thought to be rare. We report on a 78-year-old female patient with a left atrial myxoma showing marked tumor vascularity. This observation had consequences to the therapeutic management: during tumor excision, the large supplying ...

The echocardiogram in left atrial myxoma
The American Journal of Medicine, 1973Abstract A case of left atrial myxoma is described in which the echocardiogram provided the clue to the diagnosis. The mechanisms involved in producing a positive result are discussed. The value of the echocardiogram appears to depend upon echoes from the tumor during diastole which can be detected immediately posterior to the anterior cusp of the ...

Left Atrial Pressure Curve in Left Atrial Myxoma
Archives of Internal Medicine, 1961Left intra-atrial myxoma was first diagnosed and demonstrated during life by Steinberg and Dotter 1 and left intra-atrial thrombus by Soloff and Zatuchni. 2 Both groups used the technique of intravenous angiocardiography to demonstrate a filling defect within the left atrium.

Left Atrial Myxoma with Cerebral Emboli
Neurosurgery, 1985Abstract Infarction of the central nervous system secondary to embolism from left atrial myxoma is a recognized phenomenon. However, myxoma as the source of an embolus may be overlooked if an index of suspicion is not present during the evaluation of the patient with a stroke without a known cause.
