Abstract

Myxoma is the most common primary tumor of the heart. The majority of myxomas are located in the left atrium. Although cardiac myxomas are histologically benign, they may be the source of emboli and cause intracardiac obstruction. Myxomas rarely remain asymptomatic, especially if they are large. A 42-year-old woman was admitted to our clinic with complaint of mild dyspnea. Echocardiography showed huge myxoma in left atrium. Surgery was performed and the mass was removed. Pathological examination demonstrated myxoma. We report a case of an asymptomatic huge left atrial myxoma

Özet

Miksomalar kalbin en sık görülen primer tümörleridir. Primer kardiyak miksomalar sıklıkla sol atriyumda yerleşirler. Genellikle miksomalar histopatolojik olarak benign kabul edilmelerine rağmen özellikle mitral kapak obstrüksiyonlarına ve serebrovasküler embolilere neden olabilirler. Miksomalar nadiren asemptomatiktir, özellikle de çok büyük boyutlarda iken semptomatik olurlar. 42 yaşında bayan hasta kliniğimize hafif nefes darlığı yakınması ile başvurdu. Ekokardiyografi ile sol atriyumda dev miksoma saptandı. Kitle cerrahi olarak çıkarıldı ve patolojik tanı miksoma ile uyumlu idi. Hasta dev sol atriyal miksomaya rağmen asemptomatik olması nedeni ile takdimi uygun bulundu
