A giant left atrial myxoma neovascularized from the right coronary artery.

ABSTRACT: Myxomas are benign and the most common tumors of the cardiac muscle (Reynen, 1995). They are predominantly located in the left atrium. Clinical manifestations may vary according to the localization and the size of the myxoma. On the other hand, imaging of a myxoma by contrast dye during coronary angiography is a rare sign, which displays the vascular supply of the tumor. Here, we report the case of a 51-year-old man presenting with presyncope and palpitations due to a giant left atrial myxoma having its vascular supply from the right coronary artery (RCA).

Left Atrial Myxoma Hypervascularized from the Right Coronary Artery: An Interesting Cath Lab Finding.

Project description:Primary cardiac tumors are rare and approximately half of them are atrial myxomas. They rarely remain asymptomatic, especially if large. The imaging of a myxoma by contrast dye during coronary angiography is an infrequent sign, which clarifies the vascular supply of the tumor. We report herein an interesting and rare case of a left atrial myxoma hypervascularized from the right coronary artery.

Giant Intrapericardial Myxoma Adjacent to the Left Main Coronary Artery.

Project description:A 62-years-old woman was admitted to the hospital because of chronic cough, expectoration of thick mucus, hoarseness and tightness in the precordial area. Computed Tomography (CT) examination revealed the presence of a giant intrapericardial tumor with the dimensions of 80 × 38 × 32 mm. It was located anteriorly and laterally to the left atrium, posteriorly to the pulmonary trunk and the ascending aorta. This hypodense change modeled the left atrium without evidence of invasion. CT coronary angiography and 3-dimensional reconstruction were applied to enable precise planning of cardiac surgery. CT evaluation confirmed that it is possible to remove the tumor without damage to the adjacent left main coronary artery. The patient underwent cardiac surgery with sternotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass. A cohesive, smooth, vascularized tumor pedunculated to the left atrial epicardium was visualized. The location and dimensions corresponded to those determined by CT scan examination. The entire tumor was successfully dissected together with adjacent adipose and fibrous tissue. Histological evaluation revealed the presence of myxoid cells, blood vessels, degenerative changes, and microcalcifications embedded in profuse hyalinized stroma. Those histological features enabled identification of the intrapericardial tumor as a myxoma. Follow-up CT examination did not demonstrate any signs of recurrence of the myxoma. According to our knowledge, a myxoma located inside the pericardial sac has never been described before.

Right Atrial Myxoma with Coexistent Coronary Artery Disease - A Rare Combination.

Project description:Atrial myxomas are the most common primary heart tumors. Two-dimensional echocardiography is the diagnostic procedure of choice. The majority of myxomas are located in the left atrium. Myxoma in the right atrium is an uncommon location. The co-occurrence of right atrial myxoma with atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD) is uncommon. In our case, right atrial myxoma was associated with CAD, which makes it a unique case because very few cases of right atrial myxoma coexistent with CAD are described in literature.

Right coronary artery-left ventricular fistula with giant right coronary artery of diffuse ectasia: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundCoronary artery fistula complicated with giant coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is a rare cardiac malformation, and its surgical indications and treatment strategies still need further discussion.Case summaryIn this case, a 41-year-old man had complained of occasional dizziness for 2 years, but he did not seek medical attention until he started to feel palpitations. A right coronary artery (RCA)-left ventricular (LV) fistula with giant RCA of diffuse ectasia was firstly revealed by transthoracic echocardiography. A widened left ventricle and significantly constricted right atrium and right ventricle were also detected by three-dimensional coronary artery computed tomography. Surgical treatment, including the repair of the RCA-LV fistula, the resection and reconstruction of the dilated RCA and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) under hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass, were performed to correct the malformation. The patient presented a favourable health condition without any discomfort at the 1-year follow-up.DiscussionCAE can be caused by various congenital or acquired factors. Surgical treatment, such as transcatheter embolization excision, surgical ligation or resection for symptomatic patients with CAE three times or larger than the reference diameter, has been reported to have satisfactory results. Additionally, CABG can be selected if myocardial perfusion is compromised and the distal branch is of reasonable size. In this case, the giant ectasia of the RCA may have been a consequence of the congenital RCA-LV fistula. Atherosclerosis, with calcified plaques in the RCA, and the patient's long-term history of smoking may have contributed to the development of giant ectasia of the RCA.

Surgical management of a giant right atrial myxoma.

Project description:Cardiac tumours represent around 0.2% of tumours overall, and primary cardiac tumours are even more uncommon. We report the case of a 72-year-old female with a 7 cm × 4 cm right atrial mass which was prolapsing through the tricuspid valve. The mass was resected and histological analysis confirmed a myxoma. This report describes a rare finding of a giant right atrial mxyoma and subsequent surgical management.

Left Atrial Myxoma Following Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting with Patient Coronary Arterial Grafts: a Rarity.

Project description:The development of left atrial myxoma after coronary artery bypass graft surgery is a rare entity. A 60-year-old man with previous off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting four years ago with patent coronary grafts was diagnosed with left atrial mass. The patient underwent successful resection of the same through minimally invasive right anterolateral thoracotomy. Histopathology of the atrial mass confirmed the diagnosis of atrial myxoma.

Giant Left Atrial Myxoma Masquerading as Cough-Syncope Syndrome.

Project description:Left atrial myxomas are the most common type of benign primary cardiac tumor. Patients can present with generalized symptoms, such as fatigue, symptoms from obstruction of the myxoma, or even embolization of the myxoma causing distal thrombosis. We describe a case with several-month duration of syncopal episodes that occurred after coughing and with exertion. Computed tomography of the chest showed a 6.1 cm by 4.5 cm mass in the left atrium, later evaluated with an echocardiogram. Cardiothoracic surgery removed the mass, and it was determined to be an atrial myxoma. It is important for an internist to be able to diagnose an atrial myxoma because of the risks associated with embolization and even sudden death as myxoma can block blood supply from atrium to ventricle.

An exceptionally giant left atrial myxoma: a case report and literature review.

Project description:BackgroundCardiac myxomas are considered the most common benign heart tumours. The clinical manifestations mainly depend on the size of the tumour. They usually vary from asymptomatic, mild non-specific symptoms, to severe obstructive cardiac and systemic findings. We describe herein a significantly large left atrial myxoma in a patient misdiagnosed with respiratory asthma.Case summaryA 54-year-old lady, was diagnosed previously with asthma, presented with a history of dyspnoea on exertion, palpitations, and mild peripheral oedema. Chest X-ray suggested pulmonary congestion. Due to high suspicion of cardiac issues, transthoracic echocardiography was done revealing giant left atrial mass. Consequently, the mass was approached and excised surgically through the inverted T biatrial incision. Grossly, the mass measured 10 × 8 × 6 cm, and it had a smooth surface and was filled with gelatinous material. The histopathology confirmed benign myxoma without malignant features.DiscussionOur article mainly focuses on the diagnostic challenges of a patient with atrial myxoma. The major discrepancy between the tumour size and the severity of the patient's symptoms should draw physicians' attention to consider atrial myxoma over a long list of differentials, in order to take immediate action to reduce the mortality and improve the overall prognosis.
