Atrial myxoma infected with Candida: first survival.

P Joseph, D U Himmelstein, J M Mahowald, W S Stullman.   

Abstract

We report the first case of an atrial myxoma infected with the fungus, Candida tropicalis. We believe that this is the only patient with an atrial myxoma, infected with any species of Candida, who has demonstrated long-term survival. A review of the world's literature of infected myxomas is presented.
