The Mean

We report the case of a 41-year-old female patient with symptoms of cerebrovascular accident manifesting with loss of consciousness during episodes of cough. Computed multislice chest tomography showed a 7.3- by 4.15-cm mass in the left atrium. A transesophageal echocardiogram showed a giant mass in the left atrium that passed through the mitral valve to the left ventricle, and severe obstructive stenosis was suggested by the mean transmitral gradient. After a comprehensive assessment of the mass, we decided to perform surgery. The pedunculated and fragile mass was attached to the interatrial septum with its handle, and the majority of it prolapsed through the mitral valve to the left ventricle and became stacked among the mitral valve leaflets. The removed mass was analyzed histopathologically and was found to be a myxoma. It is important for the cardiac surgeon to surgically remove an atrial myxoma because of the risks associated with embolization, including sudden death, as myxoma can block the blood supply from the atrium to the ventricle.

Myxomas are the most common benign tumors of the heart and are often locatedin the left atrium and interatrial septum. They are rarely seen in the right atriumand ventricles. Myxoma usually has a benign character, but when it reaches largevolumes it causes severe mechanical obstructive symptoms in patients. Shortness ofbreath, dizziness, cough, palpitation may be its symptoms. Also constitutional complaintssuch as fever, myalgia and weight loss can be seen in patients. This case isabout a 82-year-old female patient with large size atrial mxyoma that was detectedby echocardiography.

Unusual Origin

ABSTRACT Atrial myxoma is the most frequent intracardiac tumor, accounting for nearly 50% of benign cardiac tumours in adults. We present here a rare case report of a solitary left atrial myxoma attached to the left atrial wall near the origin of the right pulmonary vein. The stalk of tumor was not attached to the interatrial septum, which is the most common site of attachment. Instead, it was attached on the wall of left atrium adjacent to the interatrial septum. Surgical exploration confirmed its attachment in the left atrium near the origin of right upper pulmonary vein. How to cite this article Bhardwaj V, Makhija N, Bhoje A, Chitara KK.

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.

Three Dimensional Echocardiography

We describe a case of a left atrial myxoma atypical for its anatomical features and site of attachment. Although an initial multimodality imaging was performed, the diagnosis of myxoma was possible only by three dimensional echocardiography (3DE) which was able to identify the pedicle and the attachment at the base of the interatrial septum, close to the origin of right inferior pulmonary vein. In fact the 3DE can electronically section the structures and obtain unique planes useful in visualizing correctly the anatomical features of the myxomas and as a result, it facilitates the surgical decision planning. Even the anatomical appearance was uncommon at surgery and the diagnosis could be confirmed only by pathology.  This case highlights the diagnostic ability of the 3DE in similar challenging scenarios.
