Abstract Introduction Cardiac myxoma (CM) is the most common primary cardiac tumour. It can manifest in a variety of clinical presentations or it be asymptomatic and, ultimately, detected with image techniques. The only successful treatment these tumours surgical excision, low complications and recurrence rate. Objectives This analysis aims to describe forms presentation echocardiographic chara...

A 63-year-old female patient underwent endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) for a gastric subepithelial lesion previously identified during upper endoscopy. A linear echoendoscope (Olympus UCT140AL5; Olympus, Tokyo, Japan) was used and no subepithelial lesion was found. However, a systematic evaluation revealed a 2-cm mass in the left atrium (●" Fig.1). A transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) confir...

Carney complex is an autosomal dominant disease that displays such characteristic features as cardiac and cutaneous myxomas and spotty pigmentation of the skin. We report here on a case of Carney complex that was accompanied by increased myxoid fibroadenomas in the breast and multiple intracranial aneurysms.

The cases of two middle age males are presented who were incidentally diagnosed to have atrial myxoma. Both of them underwent successful surgical interventions. Histologically, both myxomas showed abundant multinucleated giant cells, in addition to typical myxoid stroma with stellate and cord-like structures.

We report a case of left atrial myxoma presenting as recurrent neurological deficits with absent peripheral pulses mimicking systemic vasculitis. Due to absence of cardiac signs and symptoms, there was one year delay in diagnosis from initial symptom. Left atrial myxomas are rare but treatable cause of recurrent stroke.
