Atrial Myxoma Mimicking Mitral Stenosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Myxoma is the most common primary cardiac tumor and is usually located in the left atrium. Clinical manifestation relies in large part on the size, location, and architecture of the tumor. There are many reports in the literature of cardiac myxomas causing syncope, embolism, even myocardial infarction. We present a rare case of a patient who underwent urgent surgical resection of a large left atrial myxoma mimicking mitral stenosis. The postoperative course of the patient was uncomplicated. One year after surgery, the patient is asymptomatic and disease-free.

The echocardiogram of a twenty-year-old man, previously healthy, suffering from paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea and fatigue after moderate exertion that intensified over a period of about ten days, showed the left atrium myxoma working as severe mitral stenosis.
متن کاملLeft Atrial Myxoma Mimicking Mitral Stenosis
Cardiac myxoma is a benign (non-malignant) neoplasm that represents the most common primary tumour of the heart. We present the case of a 36 year old woman with background hypertension who presented with features of left ventricular failure and seizures, and was found during transthoracic echocardiography to have left atrial myxoma protruding through the mitral valve orifice. She subsequently h...
متن کاملDoppler analysis of pulmonary venous flow in left atrial myxoma.
In a patient with obstructive left atrial myxoma, we analyzed by pulsed Doppler echocardiography the flow pattern through the mitral valve and in the pulmonary veins. Two mitral flow patterns were observed: the first was present near the medial commissure and along the anterior leaflet and was characterized by the absence of mid-to-late diastolic filling flow; the second was found near the late...
متن کاملPrimary left atrial angiosarcoma mimicking severe mitral valve stenosis.
Primary cardiac tumours are quite rare and most of these tumours are benign. In this report, a patient presented with heart failure symptoms attributable to severe mitral valve stenosis. Echocardiography showed a dense left atrial mass causing functional mitral valve obstruction. The morphological and intraoperative presentation was highly suggestive of a myxoma but histopathological examinatio...
