“…4 Multifocal and recurrent diseases are believed to have familial and genetic predisposition. 6,7 Local recurrence usually occurs due to inadequate surgical resection. Transesophageal echocardiography shows finer details and is considered superior to transthoracic echocardiography in the diagnosis of intracardiac and pericardial tumors.…”

Left atrial myxomas are benign, slow-growing primary cardiac tumors. They present with gradual onset of one or more of a triad of obstructive, embolic, or constitutional symptoms. Echocardiography aids in the detailed preoperative and intraoperative evaluation of the myxoma for surgical strategy planning. We describe a case of interstitial hemorrhage in a left atrial myxoma leading to rapid expansion of the tumor with features of acute, mitral valve obstruction. Echocardiography showed a cystic area in the left atrial tumor that corresponded to an area of recent hemorrhage confirmed on surgical removal. A 42 yrs old housewife presented with severe dyspnoea, cough and chest pain for 7 days, after detail evaluation she was diagnosed as a case of left atrial myxoma with heart failure. Subsequently she underwent emergency open heart surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass; removal of a huge LA myxoma was done, and recovered uneventfully.Cardiovasc. j. 2016; 8(2): 155-157

“…However, since its first appearance, more than 1 cardiac cavity was involved, characterizing a multicentric disease, which may explain its higher chance of recurrence. According to McCarthy et al 13 and Shinfeld et al 14 , among the 4 groups of patients in whom myxomas may recur (inadequate resection, multicentric tumors, familial type, and metastatic recurrence), those patients with multicentric tumors have an increased risk of recurrence -estimated in 33% -as compared with sporadic myxomas, whose recurrence rate remains low, between 2% and 3%.…”

“…In the latter case the tumour appears in a different heart chamber each time, has a familiar tendency and pigmented skin lesions emerge. This is denominated as the Carney Syndrome [17,18]. In our case of recurrence, a tumour was found in the same heart chamber on both occasions, in this case the left atrium, which suggests that there was inadequate resection of its first appearance.…”

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.
