Key result
Surgical excision successfully removes a rare multicentric biatrial myxoma with no residual mass or shunt.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report demonstrates the successful surgical management of a rare multicentric biatrial myxoma in a young female patient.
Supports feasibility of excision for rare biatrial myxomas; leaves open recurrence risk and surveillance needs.
We report a case of multicentric, biatrial cardiac myxoma in a 29-year-old female who complained of exertional dyspnea, abdominal distension and peripheral edema. Any other associated skin lesions, breast mass or endocrine disorder presenting complex form were' not seen on her. Also, there was no contributory medical history, hypertension and diabetes mellitus. By using transthoracic echocardiography, we identified a biatrial myxoma attached to the interatrial septum. During surgical excision, we found a large right atrial myxoma with extension through the fossa ovalis into the left atrium and small myxoma attached to the right atrial free wall. After successful resection of interatrial septum and free wall, atrial septal defect was created during the resection and safely repaired by bovine pericardial patch.

Yoon et al. (2000) conducted a case report in Multicentric biatrial myxoma (n=1). Surgical excision was evaluated on Successful surgical resection and postoperative recovery. Surgical excision of a rare multicentric biatrial myxoma in a 29-year-old female was successful, with no residual mass or shunt observed on postoperative echocardiography.
