Cardiac myxoma with high standardized uptake value of FDG-PET-CT in the right ventricular outflow tract.

Background: Cardiac myxoma rarely occurs in the right ventricle, and as is a benign disease, it rarely shows high positivity on 18F fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT).

Case Presentation: We present herein the case of a 77-year-old woman who was found to have a heart murmur during a routine health checkup. Further examination revealed a 27-mm tumor in the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) and moderate aortic valve stenosis.

Cardiac Tumor with Dual Component of Myxoma and Angiofibroma Presented with Syncope: An Extremely Rare Case Report.

Background: Primary cardiac tumors (PCT), such as myxoma, are rare and predominantly benign. Angiofibroma tumors are an extremely rare subtype of PCT, reported in less than ten cases. In this study, we presented a mixed tumor of myxoma and angiofibroma for the first time in the human heart.

A pair of two atrial myxomas mimic thrombus in left atrial appendage and cause ischemic stroke in a young adult: a case report.

Background: Stroke is one of the leading causes of mortality and disability and can be rarely caused by cardiac myxoma.

Case Summary: Here, we report about a 56-year-old man who suffered from a stroke presented with acute dysarthria and left hemiparesis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain revealed an acute stroke.

[Cardiac myxoma: biological features, morphology, differential diagnosis].

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%.

[Ortner Syndrome Complicated with Giant Myxoma:Report of a Case].

A 68-year-old woman were admitted with chief complaints of persistent hoarseness, dysphagia and dyspnea on effort. She was found to have a left atrial myxoma with obstruction of mitral inflow on echo-cardiogram. The tumor was extensively attached to the atrial septum and left atrium.

[Brain metastases in a patient with antecedent of cardiac myxoma: a case report and review of literature].

Introduction: Cardiac myxomas are the most common benign neoplasms of the heart, mainly located in the left atrium. The preferred treatment is the resection of the myxoma. This method not only prevents complications but also has a low recurrence rate.

[Superficial angiomyxoma in the scrotum].

Superficial angiomyxoma is a benign neoplasm of mesenchymal origin that affects both sexes with a slight predilection for males. It can present in a solitary or multiple form, within the framework of the Carney complex, an autosomal dominant syndrome characterized by the triad: cutaneous and cardiac myxomas, skin pigmentation and endocrine overactivity. They occur more commonly in the head and neck, trunk and lower limbs; the location in the genital region and particularly in the scrotum is very unusual.

A retrospective investigation of varied dose of heparin for cardiopulmonary bypass for repair of cardiac myxomas.

Introduction: There is no consensus on the dose of heparin to be used intraoperatively in cardiac myxomas, so the goal of this study was to look into the differences in the clinical effects on the perioperative period of patients with cardiac myxomas when different doses of heparin were used intraoperatively.

Methods And Analysis: 70 patients who had cardiac myxomas excision via cardiopulmonary bypass between January 2024 and July 2024. The 70 patients were separated into two groups based on the heparin dose administered prior to cardiopulmonary bypass heparinization.

Cardiac Myxoma as a Mimicker of Cerebral Vasculitis: A Case Report.

Cardiac myxoma is considered the most common primary cardiac tumor and has been reported to cause different neurological complications through distinctive mechanisms, including pseudovasculitis. Herein, we present and review a case of a young male with a previous history of ischemic stroke who presented with multiple territorial ischemic insults in the presence of a presumed diagnosis of vasculitis. Once further workup was done, he was found to have a left atrial myxoma.

[Incidental finding of cardiac myxoma in a patient with bradyarrhythmia].

Background: Cardiac tumors have a low incidence in general population, and its clinical presentation varies so much. The aim of this clinical case report is to highlight the importance and utility of ultrasound and echocardiogram in the emergency department as a tool for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.

Clinical Case: 60-year-old male patient who presented to the emergency department because of dyspnea, dizziness, and weakness.
