“…From the clinical point of view, cardiac myxomas may be asymptomatic or manifest with symptoms of blood flow obstruction, with possible intermittent heart failure; severe constitutional symptoms, such as anorexia and weight loss; and in some cases, symptoms related to embolic phenomena 6 . In a study of 161 patients in Japan 3 , embolism was observed in only 9% of the patients.…”

“…They represent 50% to 75% of all primary cardiac tumors [3][4][5] . Approximately 90% of these benign tumors occur in the left atrium, from 5% to 20% in the right atrium, and from 2% to 5% in the right and left ventricles 1,3,[5][6][7] . Biatrial tumors are found in less than 2.5% of all cases 7 .…”

Ressecção de mixoma ventricular esquerdo após acidente vascular cerebral embólicoResection of left ventricular myxoma after embolic stroke Abstract Cardiac myxoma is the most common primary tumor of the heart. The tumor is located mainly in the left atrium but can arise from any heart chamber. Clinical symptoms are variable but dyspnea and embolism are the most frequent. We report a case of a young man that had embolic ischemic stroke caused by a large left ventricular myxoma. The patient underwent surgery three weeks after the stroke. The tumor was carefully resected without fragmentation. Surgical treatment was effective. We emphasize the rarity of this location together with a review of the current literature. Descriptors

Objective: The purpose of our paper was clinical and echocardiographic characterisation of patients with cardiac tumours and the evaluation of the surgery and tumour recurrence.Method: The first part of research was a retrospective investigation to identify cardiac tumours identification and to collect data from patients' records of the Messejana Hospital and Walter Cantídio University Hospital, from 1981 to 2001. In this period, 19 cases of cardiac tumours were discovered. The patients were submitted to clinical, electrocardiographic and echocardiographic re-evaluation from March to July 2002.Results: Congestive symptoms and thoracic pain were the most frequent symptoms. The location in which most of the tumours were identified was left atrium. Among patients submitted to surgery, all of them had the tumour extracted from atrium. The most common histopathologic type was myxoma (78%). Surgical mortality was 14%. Tumour recurrence occurred in one patient.Conclusions: Cardiac tumours were more frequent in left atrium, benign tumours were more frequent than malignant tumours, and the most frequent histopathologic type was myxoma.Descriptors: Heart neoplasms, surgery. Myxoma. Resumo
