AI Article Synopsis
- Cardiac myxomas are uncommon tumors found within the heart, predominantly located in the left atrium and are usually benign.
- A unique case of biatrial myxoma was documented, which means the tumors were present in both atria of the heart.
- This case also involved mitral regurgitation, a condition where the heart's mitral valve doesn't close properly, but it was successfully treated.
