A Large Left Atrial Myxoma – A Case Report

Abstract

BACKGROUNDAtrial myxomas are the most common primary cardiac tumours. More than 90% of cases are solitary. A large myxoma occupying in the left atrium producing features of mitral stenosis and regurgitation was demonstrated by 2D echocardiographic images in this case. It remained asymptomatic for a long period with survival up to 60 years in an elderly man.
