Abstract:
Cardiac myxoma are a diagnostic dilemma, simulating a variety of cardiac and non cardiac diseases. Echocardiography is a powerful technique for diagnosing primary tumors of the heart. We report two cases of elderly patients, with atrial myxomas, for which operation was safely performed on the basis of echocardiography alone without preoperative catheterization.
