The patient was a 69-year-old male patient with cancer in the right lung and whose preoperative examination showed left atrial myxoma. Simultaneous surgery for both cardiac myxoma resection and a lobectomy by totally endoscopic surgery without robotic assistance was performed. First, the cardiac tumor on the heart was removed using a cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), then a lobectomy without any new incisions was performed. This case provides evidence that in individual select patients, a left atrial myxoma resection and lobectomy can be performed under total endoscopy at the same time.

Primary cardiac tumors are rare and approximately half of them are atrial myxomas. They rarely remain asymptomatic, especially if large. The imaging of a myxoma by contrast dye during coronary angiography is an infrequent sign, which clarifies the vascular supply of the tumor. We report herein an interesting and rare case of a left atrial myxoma hypervascularized from the right coronary artery.

Cardiac myxomas may have different clinical presentations that may expose the patient to sudden death due to obstruction of the left ventricle inflow. The authors report a case of 34 years old male who was diagnosed with left atrial myxoma that presented as mitral valve obstruction with severe pulmonary hypertension. He underwent emergent sternotomy under cardiopulmonary bypass and the myxoma was successfully removed. The postoperative course was uneventful.

Abstract Cardiac myxoma is the most common benign cardiac tumor with diverse nonspecific clinical manifestations; moreover, atrial myxoma embolization to the peripheral vessels is rare. A 24-year-old man presented tothe emergency departement complaining ofpain and coldness of his two lower extremities. The right femoral pulse was normally felt while the pulses of the left lower limb from the femoral down to the posterior and anterior tibial arteries were not felt. Bilateral thrombectomy was performed on emergency basisand a fatty-like mass from the left femoral artery was removed. The histological examination of this mass was suggestive of myxoma.So, transthoracic echocardiography was done and confirmed the diagnosis of myxoma that was seen in the left atrium and measuring about 10X6 cm in its maximal dimensions. Surgical removal of the myxoma was done later and the patient recovered uneventfully. Conclusion Although myxomas are rare, they should be considered in the differential diagnosis of peripheral embolic disease, especially when an embolic event occurs in a young adult without evidence of endocarditis or arrhythmia. Echocardiography is the modality of choice for diagnosis and follow-up of this type of tumors.

Forty-four patients with left atrial myxoma were operated at Türkiye Yüksek İhtisas Hospital between 1971 and 1996. There were 31 female and 13 male patients. The myxoma arose from the interatrial septum in 43 patients and from the annulus of the posterior leaflet of the mitral valve in one patient. Preoperatively, all patients had dyspnea or tachycardia. Clinical evidence of systemic embolism was detected in 9 patients. The diagnosis was established by angiocardiography in 6 patients and by echocardiography in 38 patients. All patients were treated surgically under cardiopulmonary bypass and the myxomas were resected with their septal attachments. The septal defects were closed with a patch in 12 patients and primarily in 32 patients.

AbstractCardiac myxoma (CM) is the most frequent type of primary cardiac neoplasm and is responsible for 58 to 80% of primary cardiac tumors. The antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) occurs most commonly in the systemic lupus erythematosus but it can be also found in other conditions. The coexistence of CM and APS is rarely described in the literature. We report an unusual case of the left atrial myxoma and concomitant APS in a female patient who presented with right-sided hemiplegia. Although rare, we must think about the CM in patients with a newly diagnosed APS and left atrial mass. Nevertheless, we must make a distinction from other possible cardiac structures, especially atrial thrombus. Transthoracic echocardiography is the most frequently used initial imaging modality to detect CM. The aim of this case report was to emphasize that additional imaging modalities and multidisciplinary approach are mandatory in making a proper diagnosis and to choose a further treatment strategy.

Myxoma is benign tumor of the heart. It is mostly located in the left atrium and revascularized by the left and right coronary artery in 30% to 40% of cases. Symptoms of these neovascularized cardiac myxomas are typically quite variable, from obstruction of mitral valve to coronary embolism resulting in acute myocardial infarction. In this case, left atrial myxoma that is revascularized by nodal branches of the right coronary artery presented as a sick sinus syndrome, which is rare in literature.
