A Silent Left Atrial Myxoma: A Rare Benign Cardiac Tumor.

Rizwan Ali1, Arooj Tahir1, Muhammad Nadeem2, Syed B Rizvi3.   

Abstract

Primary cardiac tumors are extremely rare. In one study, incidence was reported being less than 0.1%. The purpose of this case report is to review different presentations of cardiac myxoma. A 34-year-old female with past medical history of drug abuse was brought into the emergency department (ED) after a motor vehicle collision. She was found to have multiple fractures with a hypodense mass in the left atrium. Further evaluation showed a left atrial myxoma. The patient underwent myxoma resection. The clinical appearance of myxoma varies from non-specific to life-threatening complications, such as stroke, acute heart failure, or even sudden death. A surgical resection is the treatment of choice for cardiac myxomas.
