Surgical excision of two independently growing atrial myxomas in a 29-year-old female resulted in successful management with no evidence of recurrence at follow-up.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights the rarity of biatrial myxomas and the importance of early TEE diagnosis and prompt surgical excision for successful outcomes.
Myxoma, a rare type of intracardiac tumor, forms a very small percentage of the cardiac cases. Reports of biatrial myxoma are rarer, with cases of single tumor reaching both atria being more common. Here, we present an unusual case of two independently growing atrial myxoma in a 29-year-old female. We emphasize that early recognition of symptoms, confirmation of diagnosis by transesophageal echocardiography, and prompt surgical excision remain vital in the management of such patients. The patient in the present case was managed successfully with no evidences of recurrence at the last follow-up.
Vijan et al. (Fri,) conducted a case report in Biatrial myxoma (n=1). Surgical excision was evaluated on Recurrence. Surgical excision of two independently growing atrial myxomas in a 29-year-old female resulted in successful management with no evidence of recurrence at follow-up.
