Multiple bilateral myxomas demonstrated by two-dimensional echocardiography.

The two-dimensional and M-mode echocardiographic detection of multiple atrial myxomas is described in an asymptomatic patient with a family history of myxomas. Surgery was subsequently performed without resort to cardiac catheterization studies. Echocardiographic techniques correctly delineated the number and size of the tumors, as well as their site of attachment, mobility and degree of interference with cardiac function.
