Role of imaging in the evaluation of a large left atrial myxoma: A case report and review of literature

Soumya Patnaik, K. Pankaj Kumar, G. Madhusudan, A. N. Patnaik, G. Ramesh.

Abstract
Cardiac myxomas of giant size are rare. Their clinical presentation depends on the rapidity of growth of the mass and pressure effects which it produces. Echocardiography alone is sufficient in most cases for initial diagnosis and to prepare for surgical removal. Modern imaging is warranted in cases with atypical features like huge size or non-visibility of stalk or signs of infiltration. We present one such case of a giant left atrial myxoma which was evaluated with MRI in this report.

Key words: Cardiac tumors, Myxoma, Imaging of cardiac tumors
