Short-term recurrence after myxoma resection in Carney complex may warrant intensified surveillance; leaves open optimal intervals and metastatic risk.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights the rare but possible short-term recurrence of cardiac myxomas and pulmonary nodules in patients with Carney complex following surgical excision.
Wang et al. (2022) conducted a case report in Carney complex atrial myxoma (n=1). Surgical resection was evaluated on Tumor recurrence. Surgical resection of a right atrial myxoma in a 72-year-old woman with Carney complex was followed by short-term recurrence in the atrial septum and new pulmonary nodules within six months.
