Multiple bilateral myxomas demonstrated by two-dimensional echocardiography

K P Tway, A A Shah, S H Rahimtoola

    The American Journal of Medicine
    |November 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Two-dimensional and M-mode echocardiography successfully detected multiple atrial myxomas in an asymptomatic patient. This imaging technique accurately mapped tumor characteristics, guiding surgical intervention without cardiac catheterization.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Atrial myxomas are the most common primary cardiac tumors.
    • A family history of myxomas increases the risk of developing cardiac tumors.
    • Early detection and accurate characterization are crucial for effective management.

    Observation:

    • An asymptomatic patient with a family history of myxomas presented for evaluation.
    • Two-dimensional and M-mode echocardiography were utilized for diagnostic imaging.
    • Multiple atrial myxomas were identified using these non-invasive echocardiographic techniques.

    Findings:

    • Echocardiography precisely determined the number, size, and attachment sites of the atrial myxomas.
    • The mobility and degree of cardiac function interference caused by the tumors were accurately assessed.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Surgical intervention was performed based on echocardiographic findings, obviating the need for cardiac catheterization.

    • Implications:

    • Echocardiography is a highly effective tool for diagnosing and characterizing multiple atrial myxomas.
    • Non-invasive imaging can guide surgical decisions for cardiac tumors, potentially reducing the need for invasive procedures.
    • Early detection through echocardiography in patients with a family history of myxomas can lead to timely and successful treatment.
