[Recurrence of multicavitating cardiac myxoma]

A 24 years-old female patient with congestive heart failure and clinical, electrocardiographic and radiologic findings compatible with pulmonary stenosis. Angiocardiography study diagnosed a tumor of the right ventricule (RV). Large tumor of the RV and smaller tumors of the left atrium were removed by surgical treatment. Six years later, a 2 cm tumor was identified in the RV. The tumor's growth was accompanied by bidimensional transthoracic echocardiograms. After 6 years a transesophageal echocardiogram showed three tumors, one in the RV and one in each of the right and left atria. These tumors were successful removed by new surgical treatment.
