Abstract:
We describe a patient with a left atrial tumor that showed very unusual magnetic resonance (MR) imaging features. Postsurgical histologic examination showed characteristics of myxoma, and Gamna-Gandy bodies were found in the tumor. We believe that the unusual MR appearance was caused by the hemosiderin in the Gamna-Gandy bodies.
