Abstract Primary cardiac tumors in pediatric are rare and mostly benign. Atrial Myxoma is the most common primary tumor of the heart, which is usually involved in the left atrium. Surgical treatment is recommended when the patients develop symptoms or hemodynamically is impaired. Cardiac Myxoma can cause left atrial obstruction and systemic embolization. So early diagnosis with surgical intervention is the definitive management of the tumor and should not be delayed. Here we present a case of a 23-year old male who admitted to the emergency department with syncope and dyspnea for 1day ago. The tumor was removed surgically; pathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of Myxoma.

Abstract Background Primary cardiac tumors are rare, and approximately 90% of them are benign. Myxoma is the most common type of these tumors occurring in the left atrium in 75–85% of cases. The tumor can cause the left atrio-ventricular valve obstruction and embolization phenomenon. Case presentation We reported a case of 54-year-old man with complaints of dyspenea and amnesia. In our patient, transthoracic echocardiography revealed a mass of 28*63 mm attached to the upper intra-atrial septum, which was prolapsing through the mitral valve into the left ventricle during diastole, being indicative of the left atrial myxoma. On examination, he was alert and conversant, and no pathological abnormality was observed in the examination of cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, respiratory, hepatic, renal and nervous systems. After myxoma diagnosis, the tumor was removed under cardiac surgery and discharged under good conditions. In the telephone follow-up after discharge, the patient recovered and did not report the disease and surgery complications. Conclusions Patients with cardiac myxoma are usually asymptomatic, but they may have manifestations related to the embolism phenomenon or intracardiac obstruction. Therefore, myxoma may represent an emergency. Surgery should be performed as soon as possible. If surgery is delayed, the patient may suffer from serious and irreversible complications, such as stroke and cardiac arrest.

Primary Cardiac Tumors

Benign cardiac myxoma with glandular differentiation is an extremely rare subtype of cardiac tumors which can mimic myxosarcoma grossly and histologically. Primary cardiac tumors are extremely rare and account for less than 0.2% of all tumors. They are benign in 75% of cases and almost 50% of these are myxomas. The differentiation between benign and malignant cardiac tumors is challenging by echocardiography or histologically. We report a case of primary left atrial benign cardiac myxoma mimicking myxosarcoma grossly and histologically by its glandular differentiation. Only 39 such cases reported in the literature.

Primary Cardiac Tumors

Primary cardiac tumors are rare, and atrial myxomas represent about half of the benigntumors encountered. When found, definitive treatment is surgical resection. Followingresection of these tumors, recurrence is possible, and these patients need regular follow-up.In the case of recurrence, repeat surgical intervention is feasible, but the potential for moredisruption in atrial anatomy has to be considered. This could contribute to cardiac arrhythmias,and anticipation of these events is necessary to optimize patient care. We present the caseof a woman with a recurrent left atrial myxoma who developed sinus node dysfunction afterresection and discuss her clinical management.

Primary cardiac tumors are extremely rare. Cardiac myxomas most frequently appear in the left atrium. In this article, we present a case of an asymptomatic 6 cm right atrial mass in a patient undergoing staging for endometrial cancer. The mass was resected, and final pathology was consistent with cardiac myxoma.

The most common benign cardiac tumor is cardiac myxoma,accounting for around 50% of all primary cardiac tumors. Cardiac myxoma is an uncommon cause ofcardioembolic stroke.Overall,cardioembolic stroke accounts for approximately 30% of all ischemic stroke of which 0.5% of cardioembolic strokes are attributable to a cardiac myxoma.It has an annual incidence of around 0.5 cases per one million people with female predominance. Early diagnosis is necessary to prevent its devastating complications such as embolic stroke and sudden cardiac death.We present a relatively rare case of an acute stroke as a first and only manifestation of an atrial myxoma

Cardiac myxoma is rare but the most common primary cardiac tumor amongst all cardiac tumors, and left atrial origin is nearly 80%. It is responsible for different constitutional symptoms, progressive dyspnea, and systemic embolization. In this report 38 years patients was admitted with exertional syncope, In investigation transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated large left atrial mass encroaching into left ventricle. The mass after operation was diagnosed as myxoma. This diagnosis is very important from the patient point of view as in undiagnosed may be the forerunner of systemic embolization in different parts of the body.

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.

SUMMARY Cardiac myxoma is a benign neoplasm, which corresponds to the most common primary heart tumour, responsible for about 50% of the cases. In general, 75-80% of myxomas are located in the left atrium, 18% in the right atrium, and more rarely in the ventricles or multicentric. Right atrial myxoma, in particular, can obstruct the tricuspid valve, causing symptoms of right heart failure, peripheral oedema, hepatic congestion, and syncope. Systemic embolization occurs in 30% of cases, by either tumour fragmentation or total tumour detachment. In the present report, we present a case of a symptomatic patient, who showed a large right intra-atrial lesion, with consequent superior vena cava syndrome, and then underwent surgical resection at admission.

Cardiac myxomas are the most common primary cardiac tumors. Myxoma are more common in women. Clinical manifestations can mimic many cardiac and noncardiac conditions. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is the gold standard method in the diagnosis of cardiac myxoma. The management of cardiac myxoma are medical therapy for the treatment of associated conditions and surgical removal as the definitive treatment.
