Histopathology remains essential before assuming myxoma in atrial masses; leaves open standardized diagnostic algorithms for rare cardiac sarcomas.
Highlights the importance of differential diagnosis in cardiac tumors, specifically distinguishing primary cardiac liposarcoma from left atrial myxoma.
Nzayinambaho et al. (1985) studied this question. Primary cardiac liposarcoma can clinically simulate a left atrial myxoma, demonstrating the challenges of differential diagnosis in cardiac tumors.
