Recurrent myxoma may involve incomplete excision or misinterpretation; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Case Report (n=3)
Recurrence of cardiac myxomas after surgical excision can be caused by incomplete excision, tumor implantation, or histological misinterpretation of sarcomas.
Alkhulaifi et al. (1994) conducted a case report in Recurrent Left Atrial Myxoma (n=3). Surgical excision was evaluated on Recurrence of cardiac tumours. Three cases of recurrent left atrial myxoma highlight incomplete excision, tumour implantation, and histological misinterpretation as potential causes for recurrence after surgical excision.
