    Atrial myxoma cells exhibit ultrastructural similarities to smooth muscle cells, with abundant cytoplasmic filaments. Some atrial myxoma cases show malignant potential, suggesting a neoplastic origin.

    Area of Science:

    • Pathology
    • Cell Biology
    • Oncology

    Context:

    • Atrial myxomas are tumors of the heart, often benign but with potential for recurrence.
    • Understanding their cellular origins and behavior is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the ultrastructural characteristics of atrial myxoma cells.
    • To determine the potential for malignant transformation in atrial myxomas.

    Summary:

    • Electron microscopy revealed atrial myxoma cells scattered within an amorphous matrix, displaying numerous microvilli-like cytoplasmic processes.
    • Tumor cells showed abundant cytoplasmic filaments, resembling smooth muscle cells, with some forming dense bodies.
    • Nuclear membrane indentations suggest contraction related to cytoplasmic filaments. Two of 20 lesions exhibited malignant features, including myocardial infiltration.

    Impact:

    • Findings suggest atrial myxoma is a true neoplasm with malignant potential, originating from multipotential mesenchymal tissue.
    • The study highlights differentiation towards smooth muscle cells as a key characteristic.
    • This research aids in classifying atrial myxomas and understanding their neoplastic nature.
