Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • A 53-year-old woman experienced recurrent syncope and dizziness.
  • She had a biatrial myxoma resected 4 years prior, with the septal defect repaired using a Dacron patch.

Observation:

  • The patient was asymptomatic.
  • Echocardiography revealed a recurrent myxoma.

Findings:

  • A recurrent left atrial myxoma was surgically removed.
  • No repeat cardiac catheterization was necessary.

Implications:

  • Regular echocardiographic follow-up is essential for patients with a history of excised myxoma.
  • Transesophageal examination or MRI may be warranted for suspicious findings.
