“…The left atrium is the most common site of origin (83%), followed by the right atrium (12.7%); 1.3% are biatrial. Only 1.7% and 0.6% of the myxomas occur in the LV and the right ventricle, respectively [ 1 ]. Most cases occur sporadically, but in 7% of the cases, myxoma has a genetic origin presenting as the familial Carney syndrome.…”

This is a report of a biatrial cardiac myxoma in a young man with a 10-month history of exertional dyspnea and palpitation. The echocardiogram revealed biatrial myxoma prolapsing through the mitral and tricuspid valves during diastole. All cardiac chambers were enlarged and dysfunctional. The electrocardiogram revealed a rapid ventricular response with atrial flutter rhythm. The masses were resected and diagnosed as myxoma by a histological examination. The follow-up echocardiogram revealed significant improvement in ventricular function and reduction in the cardiac chambers’ volume. There was no evidence of myxoma recurrence. The most probable cause of the patient’s heart failure was considered to be tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy.

“…Myxoma occurs commonly in the left atrium (LA), but it can be found in any cardiac chamber. Myxoma is commonly seen in an isolated form and reported rarely in multiple locations [ 1 ]. It has various presentations, and this delays the diagnosis in some cases.…”

Cardiac myxoma is a primary tumor histologically formed by multipotent subendocardial mesenchymal cells. Myxomas account for approximately 50% of all cardiac tumors in adults. Myxomas are most commonly located in the left atrium. Very rarely, myxomas can be located in several heart chambers. Only about 100 cases of patients with myxomatous lesions of both atria have been described in the literature. In this paper, we present a successful clinical case of a young patient with biatrial myxomas.

A Typical Bilateral Atrial Myxoma: A Case Report

Abstract: Myxoma is a rare type of tumor which have an incidence of 0.0017% among the general population. Cardiac myxomas which arise from two different heart chambers is even extremely rare; we herein report a unique case of male patient with bilateral myxoma.
