Implication

Consider atrial myxoma metastasis in solitary hemorrhagic brain lesions after resection; leaves optimal surveillance open.

Structured PICO

Population

1 patient with a solitary hemorrhagic lesion in the eloquent cerebral cortex due to tumor embolization from a previously operated cardiac myxoma

Intervention

Navigation-guided excisional biopsy / gross total resection

Outcome

Histological diagnosis of the brain lesion

Demonstrates that atrial myxomas can embolize to the cerebral cortex and present as solitary hemorrhagic metastases even after complete surgical resection.
