Multicentric familial cardiac myxoma

Familial cardiac myxoma is a rare syndrome which constitutes approximately 10% or less of all myxomas. We describe a rare case of LA and LV mass simultaneously in a 35-year-old female presenting to our hospital for evaluation of recurrent cardiac myxoma. Echocardiography revealed both LA and LV mass...

Description
Summary:Familial cardiac myxoma is a rare syndrome which constitutes approximately 10% or less of all myxomas. We describe a rare case of LA and LV mass simultaneously in a 35-year-old female presenting to our hospital for evaluation of recurrent cardiac myxoma. Echocardiography revealed both LA and LV mass. Surgery was done and histological findings confirmed the diagnosis of myxoma.
