Multimodality imaging successfully guided the complete surgical resection of rare multiple cardiac myxomas in the left atrium and left ventricle, resulting in an uneventful recovery.
Myxoma is the most common primary cardiac tumor in adults, but remains rare. Most myxomas are located in the left atrium. The clinical expressions are non-specific and very variable. The treatment is essential from the diagnosis given its severe complications, in particular embolic. We present a case of a 48-year-old male patient who presented with two masses in left atrium and left ventricle compatible with a myxoma. The patient underwent complete resection of all the two tumors without incident and the post-operative course was uneventful.
