A second recurrence of an excised nonfamilial cardiac myxoma is rare. Myxomatous cerebral aneurysms as a complication of cardiac myxomas are equally rare. A unique case of a patient with a total of 4 myxomas over a 20-year interval is presented. Her most recent presentation was a second recurrence of a left atrial myxoma, a de novo right atrial myxoma, and multiple cerebral myxomatous aneurysms. The challenging reconstruction of the normal anatomy was achieved with the use of porcine extracellular matrix patches. A diagnostic cerebral angiogram was later performed, and the aneurysms will be monitored for growth and possible intervention.

Long Term Prognosis

The aim of our study was to analyze the influence of different surgical techniques (left atriotomy, right atriotomy, biatrial approach and tumor basis solving) on early and late outcomes of patients operated on for cardiac myxoma. We evaluated 74 patients operated on for cardiac myxoma from 1982 through 2011. Sixty-six patients (89.19%) had left atrial myxoma and 8 (10.81%) right atrial myxoma. Histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of atrial myxoma in all patients. In analyzing different surgical techniques we found that they had no influence on the duration of extracorporeal circulation and aortic cross-clamp time. Mortality analysis revealed: no intraoperative mortality; early mortality in 2 patients; late mortality in 12 patients. Survival after 29 years was 81.08%. There were no myxoma recurrences. 83.78% of the patients had functional improvement. In our opinion the best approach for right atrial myxoma is through right atriotomy, for left atrial myxoma through left atriotomy, with a biatrial approach for large tumors of the left atrium or when exploration of all 4 chambers is necessary. Subendocardial excision or thermocauterization was used for small tumors with bases less than 5 mm. Myxoma with a wider basis, depending on the localization, were partially resected at the atrial septum in the whole thickness or subendocardial excision of the tumor basis.

AbstractCardiac myxoma is rare in children. Myxomas are exceedingly rare in infancy. Right atrial myxomas were recorded in a small number of case reports involving infants worldwide. We report the case of a 2-month-old infant with giant right atrial myxoma. The case presented to our hospital with respiratory distress, and had pericardial and pleural effusion. Diagnosis of cardiac tumor was made with the aid of computerized tomography scan and echocardiogram. The tumor size was 3.1 × 3.4 × 3.9 cm. The patient worsened rapidly and had sudden cardiac arrest which did not respond to interventions. Postmortem cardiac autopsy confirmed the diagnosis of myxoma on gross examination and histology. This article aims to focus attention to the atypical size and location of this atrial myxoma, causing diagnostic difficulty in this infant.

Primary cardiac tumors are extremely rare. Cardiac myxomas most frequently appear in the left atrium. In this article, we present a case of an asymptomatic 6 cm right atrial mass in a patient undergoing staging for endometrial cancer. The mass was resected, and final pathology was consistent with cardiac myxoma.

AbstractA 57-year-old female presented to emergency with features of right heart failure. On evaluation, she was found to have a large mass occupying right atrium (RA) completely and protruding into right ventricle through tricuspid valve. Intraoperatively, mass was seen arising from RA free wall with stony hard consistency. Histopathology revealed it to be myxoma. We present this case for the rare presentation of myxoma masquerading as malignancy.
