[Cardiac myxoma recurrence with the formation of tumors in both atria]
Abstract:
A case of heart myxoma recurrence 1.5 years after the removal of the left atrium primary tumour is described. Recurring tumour was represented by myxoma of both atria which was removed as a single block with a part of the interventricular septum. Both primary tumour and those of the left and right atrium have the structure of benign heart myxoma. However, the presence of the infiltrative growth into the interventricular septum allows one to consider the recurrent tumour as a borderline, locally destructive one.
