Abstract:
This paper presents a case of a cardiac myxoma with cutaneous emboli. The diagnosis of a cardiac lesion was anticipated after the histologic examination of a skin lesion. The first clue to the existence of a cardiac myxoma was a distinctive intravascular lesion of a dermal vessel. The clinical and pathologic features of cardiac myxoma are discussed. In addition, new evidence regarding the nature of a previously reported case of metastasizing cardiac myxoma is also presented.
