Summary

Myxoma, the most common heart tumor, rarely shows significant vascularity. This case highlights a left atrial myxoma with marked tumor vascularity, necessitating artery ligation during surgical removal.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Myxoma is the most frequent primary cardiac tumor, typically benign.
  • Tumor neovascularization in cardiac myxomas is considered uncommon at detectable levels.

Observation:

  • A case of a 78-year-old female patient presenting with a left atrial myxoma.
  • The myxoma exhibited notably pronounced tumor vascularity.

Findings:

  • The observed marked vascularity of the left atrial myxoma was angiographically significant.
  • This finding is atypical for cardiac myxomas.

Implications:

  • The significant vascularity impacted the surgical approach.
  • Ligation of a major supplying artery was required during tumor excision.
