Key result
Glandular cardiac myxomas are rare, representing 7.4% of cardiac myxomas, and are morphologically characterized by base locations, focal distributions, and well-developed structures with low proliferative potential.
Case Report (n=100)
Glandular cardiac myxoma is a rare variant of cardiac myxoma that can present with embolic events and be successfully treated with surgical resection.
Refines morphologic criteria for this rare variant; leaves open larger cohorts to assess recurrence and management.
Glandular cardiac myxoma is rare, representing only 5% of cardiac myxomas. A 51-year-old female developed embolic events caused by left atrial myxoma. She underwent myxoma resection and had an uneventful postoperative course. Histology of the resected myxoma revealed a glandular cardiac myxoma. In this article, the peculiar case was presented and the origin of cardiac myxoma was discussed.

Shi‐Min Yuan (2014) conducted a case report in Glandular cardiac myxoma (n=100). Glandular cardiac myxoma was evaluated. Glandular cardiac myxomas are rare, representing 7.4% of cardiac myxomas, and are morphologically characterized by base locations, focal distributions, and well-developed structures with low proliferative potential.
