Key result
A 60-year-old man with an atypical hypervascular cardiac myxoma and a possible fistula to the left atrium underwent successful surgical resection.
Why the study?
While cardiac myxomas typically present with characteristic imaging features, different radiographic patterns occur due to secondary changes within the tumour.

Cardiac myxomas can present with atypical radiographic features such as vivid contrast enhancement due to hypervascularity, which should be recognized to avoid misdiagnosis.
