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.

ABSTRACT Left atrial myxomas are usually attached to the interatrial septum. This case highlights the unusual site of attachment of left atrial myxoma. The site of attachment was via a broad stalk at the junction of mitral valve annulus close to anterior mitral leaflet and adjacent left atrial wall. Transesophageal echocardiography helped in the detection of site of attachment as well as in postoperative evaluation. How to cite this article Makhija N, Irpachi K, Chowdhury UK, Kiran U.

We report a case of a recurrence of 5 cardiac myxomas in both atria with atypical anatomical features difficult to image. Although a multimodality imaging was performed, three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) was the only technique able to correctly identify all the recurrences and the anatomical characteristics of the myxomas. MRI detected the blood supply of the mass but even after careful review was able to identify only 4 of the 5 lesions. Even though it was already reported the usefulness of 3DE to better delineate the site of attachment of cardiac tumors, it was never reported its sensibility in the setting of multiple myxomas; this case highlights the ability of the 3DE in this challenging scenario and its potential for being considered the key adjunctive modality for the anatomy when advanced surgical plan is required.
