چکیده
An intracardiac myxoma is the most common tumour of the heart with an estimated incidence of 0.5 per million population per year. Extensive calcification is rare in these tumours. We describe a rare case of a large left atrial myxoma, visible on the chest radiograph, with extensive calcification and osseous metaplasia.

A heavily calcified left atrial myxoma in a man aged 53 was diagnosed from the plain chest x-ray film and confirmed by echocardiography.

متن کاملCalcified right atrial mass. Report of a case and discussion of the differential diagnosis.
Myxoma is the commonest intracardiac tumour and it is well known to present in bizarre ways, particularly when on the right side of the heart. The frequency of serious co-existent disease is striking and adds to the difficulty of diagnosis. Calcification of the tumour is uncommon, though probably more frequent in right than in left heart tumours; massive calcification is rare. Diagnosis can be ...
متن کاملReal time two-dimensional echocardiography in the diagnosis of left atrial myxoma.
A patient with a left atrial myxoma is reported in whom M-mode echocardiography was atypical and misleading since in most transducer positions, no tumor echoes were found in the left atrium. Real time two-dimensional echocardiography provided a definitive diagnosis, demonstrating a large left atrial mass with multiple areas of calcification. One such calcified area was located adjacent to the p...
