Multicentric familial cardiac myxoma

Eur J Echocardiogr. 2005 Mar;6(2):148-50. doi: 10.1016/j.euje.2004.07.010.

Abstract

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.
