Key result
Surgical treatment successfully resolves rare biatrial myxomas in a young patient.
Why the study?
Biatrial myxomas are very rare cardiac tumors with only about 100 cases reported, necessitating further clinical documentation.
Case Report (n=1)
Reports a rare case of successful surgical treatment for biatrial myxomas in a young patient.
Case report extends sparse evidence on biatrial myxomas; leaves open need for registries before guiding practice.
Cardiac myxoma is a primary tumor histologically formed by multipotent subendocardial mesenchymal cells. Myxomas account for approximately 50% of all cardiac tumors in adults. Myxomas are most commonly located in the left atrium. Very rarely, myxomas can be located in several heart chambers. Only about 100 cases of patients with myxomatous lesions of both atria have been described in the literature. In this paper, we present a successful clinical case of a young patient with biatrial myxomas.
