Key Result

An interconnected biatrial myxoma is an exceptionally rare tumor variant that straddles the interatrial septum through the fossa ovalis to form two synchronous masses.

Key Points

  • To describe a rare case of biatrial myxoma that extends through the fossa ovalis.
  • Case presentation of an unusual bilateral cardiac tumor
  • Identification of masses connected across the interatrial septum
  • Tumor comprised of two connected masses
  • Tumor located at the fossa ovalis, influencing cardiac function

Structured PICO

P
Population
Patients with biatrial myxomas, specifically a single tumor straddling the interatrial septum through the fossa ovalis

Describes an exceptionally rare variant of biatrial myxoma forming two synchronous masses across the fossa ovalis.

Abstract

Biatrial myxomas are exceptionally rare; an even more unusual variant is a single tumor that straddles the interatrial septum through the fossa ovalis, forming 2 synchronous masses.
