Cardiac myxomas are the most common primary benign tumors of uncertain etiology. They usually present as polypoid or oval-shaped masses projecting into a heart chamber from the interatrial septum and have a soft, gelatinous consistency without a cystic structure. We report a case of left atrial myxoma with a single cystic form.

Odontogenic myxomas are benign but locally aggressive neoplasms found almost exclusively in the jaws and arise only occasionally in other bones. We present a rare case of odontogenic myxoma occurring in the mandible of a 19-year-old male patient with a brief review of clinical and radiological features, and diagnostic and operative dilemmas in managing the same.

Myxomas are the most common type of primary benign cardiac tumor in adults, with an incidence about 0.2 % population at autopsy. develop from multipotent mesenchyme and usually undifferentiated, pedunculated atrial mass attached to a fossa ovale on left side septum. Frequent asymptomatic course disease complicates timely diagnosis treatment. The presented clinical observation demonstrates accid...

BACKGROUND The presence of primary intracardiac tumors are scarce, and most of them are myxomas. We reported, in this paper, a case with huge mass in the right side of the heart. CASE REPORT A 45-year-old man, with a complaint of bilateral lower limbs edema and exertional dyspnea, was admitted to intensive cardiac care unit. Cardiac auscultation revealed soft grade systolic murmur without any...

Myxomas comprise 50% of all benign cardiac tumors in adults, with the right atrium as their second most frequent site of origin. Surgical resection is the only effective therapeutic option for patients with these tumors. The association between right atrial myxomas and severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction is extremely rare and makes treatment even more challenging. This was the case for...

Myxomas are common intracardaic tumours. These lesions are friable and easy to embolise. We present data of surgical excision of this tumour in 8 patients,2012 to 2016. Patients data regarding age, sex, clinical presentation,size of myxoma, bypass time ,cross clamp time, postoperative course were noted. All patients were operated for removal of myxoma. Care was taken to ensure that minimal hand...

Myxomas are the most common type of benign cardiac tumor. The most frequent clinical presentations are symptoms resulting from atrioventricular valve obstruction or systemic embolization. Coronary embolization is a rare, although real and potentially fatal, complication of cardiac myxomas. We present a case report and review of the literature on this disease association. A 57-year-old woman was...

OBJECTIVE In this study, 12 patients who were diagnosed as having cardiac tumours and were operated on in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery following referral from the Department of Cardiology were enrolled between January 1995 and October 2007. METHODS The symptoms, clinical findings, diagnostic methods, localisation of masses and surgical applications were recorded retrospectively. ...

A 71-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with a 6-month history of progressive dyspnea on exertion. He had diabetes mellitus on medications. On physical examination, his pulse rate was 90 bpm and blood pressure was 100/70 mm Hg. A low-frequency diastolic heart murmur was heard at the apex without systolic murmur. Blood chemistry levels were within normal range. The 12-lead ECG showed a si...
