Implication

Concurrent myxoma and Hodgkin lymphoma warrants thorough systemic evaluation in young patients with atrial masses; leaves open possible shared pathogenesis.

Structured PICO

Population

36-year-old woman with a non-significant medical history presenting with 4 months of progressively worsening palpitations, dyspnoea on exertion, chest discomfort, and fatigue, found to have a large left atrial cardiac mass and an anterior mediastinal mass.

Intervention

Surgical resection of the anterior mediastinal mass and left atrial mass.

Outcome

Successful resection and histopathological diagnosis.

This rare case of concomitant left atrial myxoma and classical Hodgkin's lymphoma highlights the importance of comprehensive diagnostic evaluation in patients with newly discovered atrial tumors.
