[Large intracardiac mass revealed by cerebrovascular accident: a case report].
Pan Afr Med J

Service de Cardiologie Hémodynamique, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Martinique, Fort de France, Martinique.
Article Synopsis
- Intracardiac masses, like myxomas, can sometimes be identified following a stroke, but distinguishing them through echocardiography can be challenging.
- A case study involved a 58-year-old man with various health issues who suffered an ischemic stroke; his echocardiogram showed a large mass in the left atrium, leading to a diagnosis of myxoma after surgery.
- Myxomas may not show symptoms for a long time and can be linked to embolic complications, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive, team-based management approach.

Article Synopsis
- Primary cardiac tumors are uncommon and present unique clinical challenges, especially when they occur alongside other types of cancer, like lung cancer.
- A 53-year-old woman was diagnosed with three rare conditions: a left atrial myxoma, pulmonary squamous cell carcinoma, and a thymic cyst, all at the same time.
- This case highlights the difficulties in diagnosing and treating patients with multiple distinct tumors, offering important lessons for future medical practice.
Myxoma Involving the Pulmonary Valve - A Case Report of an Atypical Cardiac Tumor, Treated Using an Unusual Approach.

Allegheny General Hospital, Pittsburgh, USA.
Background: Atypical myxoma has been reported in various locations in the heart, however, myxoma involving the pulmonary valve is rare. Here we present a case of pulmonic valve myxoma which was resected via a percutaneous approach.
Case Report: A 66-year-old female with known metastatic adenocarcinoma of the lung, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease presented with acute onset shortness of breath for two days.

Objective: To determine epidemiologic features of naturally occurring myxomatosis in domestic rabbits in California and to characterize clinicopathologic and diagnostic findings.
Animals: 11 client-owned rabbits, Oryctolagus cuniculus subsp domesticus.
Clinical Presentation: A prospective study of pet rabbits with myxomatosis seen at an exotic animal specialty clinic in Santa Cruz county, California, was conducted between January 1, 2022, and December 31, 2023.
Complex decision making in a patient with lung cancer with incidentally found fast-growing atrial mass.

Department of Pathology, University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio, TX, USA.
Atrial myxomas are typically found in the left atrium and are the most common among overall rare cardiac tumors. Herein, we describe the clinical course of a 72-year-old female with non-small cell lung adenocarcinoma found to have an atrial mass during an imaging for evaluation for lung cancer progression. Differentiating between distinct types of masses can pose a challenge to the treatment team especially in the setting of exiting malignancy.
