Article Abstract
Left atrial (LA) myxomas are benign neoplasms that are rare in children. Their presentation is dependent on size and location. We describe a seven-year-old girl who was admitted with chest pain, upper respiratory symptoms, and persistent troponin elevation with suspected myocarditis. Workup revealed an infarction from a LA myxoma which embolized to her right coronary artery-posterior lateral branch (PLB). She underwent prompt successful surgical excision of the myxoma. We elected not to perform a coronary artery embolectomy and her infarction was managed medically. We describe this unique clinical scenario and the decision-making process leading to a successful outcome.

Retinocytomas are benign tumors that arise from mutations in the gene. Previous research describes the appearance of retinocytomas as that of treated retinoblastoma (Rb) lesions, with characteristics such as chorioretinal atrophy, calcification, and a lack of necrosis or mitotic activity on histopathology. We present the unusual case of an asymptomatic seven-year-old girl with two independent translucent masses in the peripheral retina of the right eye (OD) and extensive intraretinal tumor and vitreous seeds.
