Key Points

Delayed diagnosis of left atrial myxoma occurred due to atypical symptoms, complicating treatment.
Case involved a 49-year-old female patient presenting with unusual clinical signs unrelated to embolism.
This analysis describes the challenges of recognizing myxomas, especially in atypical presentations.
Understanding these nuances may improve future diagnosis and management of cardiac tumours.

Implication

Case report reveals delayed diagnosis of cardiac myxoma in a 49-year-old woman, indicating atypical symptoms often overlooked.

Abstract

Myxomas are the most common cardiac benign tumours, and usually presented with an embolism phenomenon. We describe the case of a 49‐year‐old female patient with an unusual clinical presentation of a left atrial myxoma, which delayed the diagnosis and management.
