Ressecção de mixoma ventricular esquerdo após acidente vascular cerebral embólicoResection of left ventricular myxoma after embolic stroke Abstract Cardiac myxoma is the most common primary tumor of the heart. The tumor is located mainly in the left atrium but can arise from any heart chamber. Clinical symptoms are variable but dyspnea and embolism are the most frequent. We report a case of a young man that had embolic ischemic stroke caused by a large left ventricular myxoma. The patient underwent surgery three weeks after the stroke. The tumor was carefully resected without fragmentation. Surgical treatment was effective. We emphasize the rarity of this location together with a review of the current literature.

AbstractThe primary heart tumors have an incidence varying from 0.001% to 0.28% of all tumors, reported in necropsies series. Lipoma consists of a benign tumour corresponding to about 8% of all primary heart tumors. When present, the symptoms are related to the size and location of such tumor. We report a case of a 27-year-old man with a lipoma in the right atrium who underwent surgical treatment with tumor resection and partial reconstruction of the right atrium using bovine pericardium.Descriptors: Lipoma.

ResumoOs tumores primários do coração têm uma incidência variando de 0,001% a 0,28% dentre todos os tumores, relatados em séries de necropsias. Lipoma consiste de um tumor benigno que corresponde a cerca de 8% de todos os tumores cardíacos primários. Os sintomas, quando presentes, estão relacionados ao tamanho e à localização do tumor. Apresentamos o caso de um homem com 27 anos, com um lipoma no átrio direito que foi submetido a tratamento cirúrgico, com ressecção tumoral e reconstrução parcial do átrio direito com pericárdio bovino.
