Myxoma of right femoral vein origin presenting as a right atrial mass with syncope

Abstract

tory oliguria, and the development of generalized myalgia and respiratory muscle weakness.No known drug(s) associated with rhabdomyolysis, itself rare, 4 were administered, nor were any metabolic factors present that are capable of potentiating this event. When rhabdomyolysis has been reported in patients undergoing longterm therapy, no acute causative factor is apparent. 3,4 Rosenberg and colleagues, 5 however, have documented intraoperative rhabdomyolysis associated with pravastatin in cases in which the operation was thought to be the trigger. Although speculative, 7 years of uneventful simvastatin therapy in this case, together with the report by Rosenberg's group, indicates to us that the timing of this complication and operation were not coincidental.

Venous Myxoma of the Distal Femoral Vein: A Rare Case of Leg Pain and Swelling

“…Myxomas with a peripheral vein origin are rare, and to date, a single case was previously described [2]. In this case, symptoms are unspecific, mimicking a deep vein thrombosis.…”

“…Incidence of myxomas in the great veins is extremely rare. A review of the literature demonstrates few cases of vena cava locations and only one in a femoral vein [2]. This case of femoral vein myxoma was responsible for cardiac syncope after embolization in the right atrium [2].…”

“…A review of the literature demonstrates few cases of vena cava locations and only one in a femoral vein [2]. This case of femoral vein myxoma was responsible for cardiac syncope after embolization in the right atrium [2]. Most patients may present clinically with one or more symptoms of emboli, intracardiac obstruction and constitutional manifestation [3][4][5].…”

Mixoma extracardíaco: un caso inusual en el arco aórtico

“…En la literatura se exponen pocos reportes de casos de mixomas extracardíacos, que se originan en la vena cava superior 12,13 , vena cava inferior [14][15][16] , vena femoral 17 , arteria pulmonar 18 y arco aórtico 19 . En la mayoría de estos casos, los pacientes presentaron al menos uno de los síntomas característicos de la tríada clínica (obstrucción del flujo sanguíneo, eventos tromboembólicos o síntomas constitucionales) 1,3 , y sus diagnósticos fueron realizados con base en los hallazgos imagenológicos, principalmente por angiotomografía computarizada.…”

Extracardiac myxoma: an unusual case in the aortic arch

“…Currently, due to the few cases reported in the literature, their incidence is unknown. The literature reports few cases of extracardiac myxomas, arising in the superior vena cava 12,13 , inferior vena cava [14][15][16] , femoral vein 17 , pulmonary artery 18 and aortic arch 19 . In most of these cases, the patients had at least one of the characteristic clinical triad symptoms (blood flow obstruction, thromboembolic events or constitutional symptoms) 1,3 , and were diagnosed based on imaging findings, mainly computed angiotomography.…”
