“…Myxomas are more frequently seen in left atrium 7 . Atypical occurrences such as left ventricle, 8 mitral, 9 or tricuspid 10 valves have also been reported. Overall, almost 75% to 80% are seen in left atrium, 18% in right atrium, and the remainder in the ventricles.…”

“…Cardiac myxomas may exist with concomitant cardiac disease. Injury of mitral subvalvular apparatus or leaflets can cause mitral regurgitation [5,17]. Gucu et al [18] presented a case of myxoma that was located in the mitral valve with mitral insufficiency and accompanying intracranial tumor.…”

Objectives. Myxomas are the most common benign primary heart tumors. They have serious complications including intracardiac blood flow obstruction and embolic events. The aim of the study was to assess our experiences related to patients undergoing surgical resection for cardiac myxomas. Methods. The medical records of 39 patients, aged 16 to 76 years (mean, 47.5 years), who were operated on for primary cardiac myxomas between January 1994 and December 2016 at our clinic were retrospectively evaluated. Demographic, clinical, operative and postoperative data were obtained from these hospital medical records. Cardiac myxomas were diagnosed by transthoracic echocardiography. Preoperative coronary angiography was performed in patients over 40 years of age and those with symptoms of coronary disease. In routine follow-up after discharge the patients were checked by echocardiography. Long-term cumulative survival was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results. There was no in-hospital mortality. The majority (61.5%) of patients were female. The most common encountered localization of myxoma was the left atrium (76.9%), and the classic posterior approach from interatrial groove was preferred in 32 (82.1%) patients. Mean follow-up was 6.05 ± 3.75 years (range, 1-10 years). Five (12.8%) patients were lost on long-term follow-up. Kaplan-Meier curves, cumulative proportion surviving of patients at 1-, 2-, 5-, and 10-year were 97.4%, 91.7%, 84.7%, and 84.7%, respectively. No hospital mortality was observed in any of the patients. There was no recurrence in our series. Conclusions. Myxoma is the disease that can lead to complications such as embolic events and intracardiac blood flow obstruction. It can be excised with a low rate of morbidity and mortality. Surgical resection should be performed promptly after diagnosis in order to prevent potential complications.

“…Mitral valve myxomas is very rare. When the mitral valve is involved, the myxoma is frequently located on the atrial side with equal distribution between the anterior and the posterior leaflets [3][4][5]. The exact incidence of myxomas originating from the mitral valve is not clear.…”

“…The preferred surgical technique is excision without valve resection if possible. Resultant varying degrees of mitral valve insufficiency can be treated by primary or patch repair of the valve or replacement with a prosthesis [3]. Myxomas should be completely resected to avoid recurrence.…”

Mitral valve myxoma associated with intracranial tumor: a case report

Primary tumors of the heart are rare, and among them, cardiac myxoma is the most prevalent primary cardiac neoplasm in adult patients. Astrocytoma is the most common glioma and can occur in most parts of the brain and occasionally in the spinal cord. There is a little knowledge about coexistence of cardiac myxoma and astrocytoma in the literature. Cardiac myxoma associated with intracranial tumor is a very rare entity. We presented a case of cardiac myxoma originating mitral anterior valve associated with astrocytoma. The patient underwent the operation for intracranial tumor 2 months before cardiac surgery. Mitral valve myxoma was successfully treated with surgical resection without mitral valve replacement.Eur Res J 2016;2(3):233-235

Mitral Valve Myxoma

Abstract: A 65-year-old man had a 6 × 4 × 4 cm myxoma adhering to the posterior leaflet of the mitral valve. He underwent successful myxoma resection and mitral valve replacement.
