In this patient, we visualized two more recurrences 14 years later, one in the left atrium and the other in the left ventricle. A short review of the literature concerning recurrent cardiac myx...
متن کاملComplicated Sporadic Cardiac Myxomas: A Second Recurrence and Myxomatous Cerebral Aneurysms in One Patient
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.

Approximately 12% of primary cardiac tumors are completely asymptomatic while others present with one or more signs and symptoms of the cl...
