چکیده

A thirty-two-year-old woman was admitted with complaints of fever, palpitations, and syncopal episodes for the last 3 months. On examination she was found to have elevated jugular venous pressure and pallor. Cardiovascular examination revealed loud first and second heart sounds with mid diastolic murmurs in mitral and tricuspid areas. ECG showed incomplete right bundle-branch block pattern. Transthoracic echocardiogram showed 4.5 × 4.6 cm size heterogenous intracardiac mass in right atrium (RA) attached to interatrial septum (Figure 1 and Movie I in the online-only Data Supplement). Two masses of similar echo texture were noted, 1 in the left atrium (LA; size 2.9 × 1.9 cms) attached to interatrial septum and another in left ven-tricular out flow tract (LVOT; size 0.9 × 1.4 cms) attached to interventricular septum (Figure 2 and Movie II in the online-only Data Supplement) causing mild LVOT obstruction (Doppler peak gradient of 21 mm Hg; Figure 3). The atrial masses were prolapsing into the ventricles during diastole, obstructing the tricuspid and mitral orifices. The patient was managed surgically. Intraoperatively a large mass in RA protruding into the right ventricle body and out-flow tract (Figure 4), was noted and another mass measuring 1 × 0.8 cms was noted in the right ventricle in between the trabeculae. All the intracardiac masses were excised, and the patient had uneventful recovery. Postoperative echocardiography did not show any residual masses in Figure 1. Transthoracic echocardiogram in apical 4-chamber view showing tumor masses in right atrium (large arrows) and left atrium (small arrows). LV indicates left ventricle; and RV, right ventricle. Figure 2. Transthoracic echocardiogram in parasternal long-axis view showing tumor masses in left ventricular outflow tract (large arrows) and left atrium (small arrows). Figure 3. Transoesophageal echo Doppler study showing peak gradient of 21 mm Hg across the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT).

Recurrent Myxoma Arising from Multiple Cardiac Chambers with Systemic Embolization:a Case Report.

Myxomas occupying multiple chambers of the heart are extremely rare, being more common in familial cases. Recurrence of these tumors after surgical excision is also a rare condition, observed in about 3% of patients in sporadic cases. Systemic embolization especially to the brain is one of the common presentations of cardiac myxomas apart from intracardiac obstruction and systemic symptoms. We ...

Cardiac Myxoma, a Rare But Most Common Encountered Cardiac Tumor: A Single Center Experience

Introduction: Cardiac myxoma is a benign and rare tumor, which can present with a grim phenomenon if the presentation is late or the diagnosis and surgery are delayed. The purpose of this study was to share our institutional experience of cardiac myxoma.

An Unusual Biatrial Cardiac Myxoma in a Young Patient

This is a report of a biatrial cardiac myxoma in a young man with a 10-month history of exertional dyspnea and palpitation. The echocardiogram revealed biatrial myxoma prolapsing through the mitral and tricuspid valves during diastole. All cardiac chambers were enlarged and dysfunctional. The electrocardiogram revealed a rapid ventricular response with atrial flutter rhythm. The masses were res...

Cardiac myxoma: its origin and tumor characteristics.

Cardiac myxoma is most common among primary cardiac tumors, and its origin and tumor characteristics have been gradually elucidated by recent advances in molecular biology. Prichard's structure in the interatrial septum which was reported to be a candidate for the origin of cardiac myxoma, was revealed to be age-related changes. In hereditary cardiac myxoma "Carney complex", chromosomal abnorma...

Microinsertions in PRKACA cause activation of the protein kinase A pathway in cardiac myxoma.

Cardiac myxoma is the most common cardiac tumour. Most lesions occur sporadically, but occasional lesions develop in patients with Carney complex, a syndrome characterized by cardiac myxoma, spotty pigmentation, and endocrine overactivity. Two-thirds of patients with Carney complex harbour germline mutations in PRKAR1A, which encodes the type I regulatory subunit of protein kinase A (PKA). Most...

Cardiac Myxoma Removal and Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in a Middle-Aged Woman: A Case Report

Cardiac myxoma is usually a benign tumor in the left atrium that accounts for more than 50% of primary cardiac tumors. A 55-year-old female referred to our hospital with chest pain, referred pain to the left hand, and severe dyspnea. Transthoracic Doppler Echocardiography was performed and the results showed a large and mobile left atrial mass without any attachment to the interatrial septum. I...
