We report the case of a 65-year-old patient who had complete excision of an atrial myxoma and subsequently presented to our unit with recurrent cerebral metastasis. The case demonstrates that cardiac myxoma despite benign histological appearance is capable of metastatic spread.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
