Case report
Large left atrial myxomas may remain asymptomatic in sinus rhythm; leaves open determinants of clinical presentation.
A large atrial myxoma, attached in an atypical location, was identified in the left atrium of a 70 year old patient. Although the tumour occupied a large part of the left atrium the patient remained in sinus rhythm and displayed no symptoms.

Steffen Lamparter (2004) studied this question. A large, atypically attached atrial myxoma occupying much of the left atrium was found in a 70-year-old patient who remained completely asymptomatic and in sinus rhythm.
