Key result
Surgical resection reveals atypical calcified interatrial myxoma linked to prior acute MI.
Why the study?
Cardiac myxomas typically originate from atrial walls, but rare forms such as interatrial septum tumors can be difficult to diagnose due to atypical features.

May link atypical calcified interatrial myxoma to embolic MI; leaves open whether such masses warrant routine embolic evaluation.
Kunioka et al. (2020) conducted a case report in Cardiac myxoma (n=1). Surgical tumor resection was evaluated. Surgical resection of an atypical, calcified interatrial septum tumor revealed a cardiac myxoma, which was retrospectively suspected to have caused a prior acute myocardial infarction.
