Mazabraud's syndrome. A case with multiple myxomas.
Mazabraud's syndrome is defined as the combination of one or more intramuscular myxomas and fibrous dysplasia of bone. The diagnosis is important given the increased risk of malignant transformation of the bone lesions. We report a case in a 56-year-old patient with a 14-year follow-up during which multiple surgical procedures were required to remove myxomas (present at more than 15 sites). The...

He had experienced several of the constitutional disturbances associated with myxoma. At the ages of 19 and 35 he had had two episodes associated with embolisms, and at the later one he was diagnosed as having multiple cer...

Her first recurrence was at the age of 36 years, when tumors were removed from the left and right atria, and the right ventricle. Six years later, the patient was admitted to the Hospit...
متن کاملMolecular Basis of Cardiac Myxomas
Cardiac tumors are rare, and of these, primary cardiac tumors are even rarer. Metastatic cardiac tumors are about 100 times more common than the primary tumors. About 90% of primary cardiac tumors are benign, and of these the most common are cardiac myxomas. Approximately 12% of primary cardiac tumors are completely asymptomatic while others present with one or more signs and symptoms of the cl...
متن کاملIdentification of a novel genetic locus for familial cardiac myxomas and Carney complex.
BACKGROUND Intracardiac myxomas are significant causes of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality through embolic stroke and heart failure. In the autosomal dominant syndrome Carney complex, intracardiac myxomas arise in the setting of lentiginosis and other lesions associated with cutaneous hyperpigmentation, extracardiac myxomas, and nonmyxomatous tumors. Genetic factors that regulate cardiac ...
