Introduction. Myxoid lesions may present as benign, locally invasive, or malignant tumors. The incidence of intramuscular myxoma is nearly 1 case in 1,000,000 inhabitants. Case report. A 73-year-old man presented to our clinic with a painless, subcutaneous tumor the adductor region left thigh. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed cystic thin septae located muscles. was exti...

Peripheral odontogenic myxoma is a rare odontogenic tumor representing an extra osseous counterpart of central odontogenic myxoma. It is commonly seen in gingiva between the 3rd and 4th decades of life and appears predominantly in females. Compared to central odontogenic myxoma, it is a less aggressive, slow-growing lesion with a low recurrence rate. However, close postoperative follow-up is re...

Abttract: Episodic Central Nervous System Ischemia of Undetermined Cause: Relation to Occult Left Atrial Myxoma • Left atrial myxoma should be considered seriously in patients with unexplained cerebral dysfunction, particularly those in whom there are multiple recurrent cerebral vascular episodes, despite the absence of suggestive heart findings. Substantiating this observation are two such ill...

A 57-year-old female patient was admitted with dys-pnoea. With two-dimensional (2D) transthoracic and trans-oesophageal echocardiography, a left-atrial myxoma of 3.1 Â 4 cm was diagnosed. Coronary angiography demonstrated that the myxoma had been neo-vascularised originating from the circumflex artery (Fig. 1). The tumour was resected successfully with cardiopulmonary bypass (Fig. 2). Fig. 1. I...

Myxoma is a rare mesenchymal tumor and it is mainly seen in heart and skin. Renal myxoma is extremely rare. To date, eleven cases of kidney myxomas have been reported in the literature. One of them is myxoma of the renal sinus. Our case was an 82-year-old man admitted to our hospital symptoms related to the urinary tract obstruction. Abdominal computerized tomography revealed a ...

Symptoms related to peripheral embolism are experienced in 2%-15% of cases of cardiac myxoma. We present a rare case of a 54-year-old man admitted due to sudden abdominal pain. A computed tomography (CT) scan showed occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA). As the patient's response to support treatment was favorable, a non-invasive approach was adopted, with prescription of oral antic...

Atrial myxoma is the most common primary cardiac tumor. Its clinical presentation varies greatly from asymptomatic incidental mass to serious life-threatening cardiovascular complications. We herein describe the clinicopathological and imaging features of a huge left atrial myxoma protruding into the left ventricle during diastole and obstructing diastolic filling of the left ventricle thus cau...

A 22-year-old woman with a history of transient ischemic attack 2 weeks earlier presented with dyspnea on exertion. Cardiac auscultation revealed only an apical mid-diastolic murmur. Her electrocardiogram indicated atrial fibrillation. Transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) showed significant rheumatic mitral stenosis (mitral valve area: 1.3 cm2) and mobile homogeneous mass in the left atrium (Fig....

Introduction: Cardiac tumors constitute only 0.2% of all tumors. Primary cardiac tumors occur infrequently with an incidence of 0.0017% to 0.19%, estimated on autopsies performed in non-selected populations. Left atrial myxomas are the most prevalent (75% to 80%) and right atrial are less common (10% to 18%). Surgical excision yields an excellent prognosis and recurrence rate of only 3% with a ...
