Abstract:
The authors, presenting a group of 23 cardiac myxomas over the past 20 years, provide a review of the most common clinical symptoms, such as mitral valve stenosis, dyspnoea, tachycardia, and/or myxoma mass embolizing the systemic circulation as well as the diagnostic modalities available, echocardiography and angiography in particular. Based on the histologic picture and the ultrastructure. They assume that, histogenetically, cardiac myxomas are true neoplasms from undifferentiated mesenchymal cells. Echocardiographic confirmation of cardiac myxomas warrants immediate surgical removal of the neoplasm.
