The article describes surgical tactics by means of which fragmentation of large myxomas of the right and left atria during operation can be avoided. In myxoma of the right atrium the authors suggest cannulating the venae cavae after wide atriotomy during total body hypothermia and then continuing the operation under conditions of extracorporeal circulation.

This case report describes a rare instance of massive right ventricular myxoma (RVM). A 36-year-old woman initially presented with progressive breathlessness and chest heaviness. Imaging revealed a large mass in the mediastinum, which was initially thought to be a pericardial cyst, and it was unclear whether the mass was intracardiac or extracardiac.

Cardiac myxoma in its morphology is a typical benign tumor, meanwhile, the fact of its localization in the heart chamber, directly in the constant blood flow, largely determines the clinical behavior of this neoplasm, which is often manifested by the development of characteristics that formally determine the aggressive and even malignant nature of the course. Accordingly, the malignancy of cardiac myxoma is determined more by its clinical behavior (recurrence, multifocality of the lesion, the presence of mechanisms of spread similar to metastasis) rather than by its histological picture. In the structure of primary benign tumors of the heart, myxoma occupies a dominant position and its incidence is up to 85%.

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
- Myxoma (MYXV) and rabbit hemorrhagic disease (RHDV) viruses are significant threats to European rabbits, which are now considered 'Endangered' in their native habitat.
- The study focused on evaluating the effectiveness of dried blood spots (DBS) for serological surveys of these viruses in European rabbits by comparing DBS to traditional serum samples.
- Results showed a high level of agreement between the two methods, with DBS demonstrating strong diagnostic sensitivity and perfect specificity for both MYXV and RHDV, confirming its viability for monitoring these diseases in the wild rabbit population.
