Left atrial myxoma was diagnosed in a 42-year-old woman who had cutaneous and neurological manifestations without cardiac symptoms or signs. A two-dimensional echocardiogram revealed an orange-sized mobile mass in the left atrium. Magnetic resonance imaging showed multiple cerebral infarctions. Cardiac surgery for removal of the left atrial myxoma was successful and histopathology confirmed myxoma. Cutaneous and neurological manifestations were improved after the operation. Early surgical intervention may prevent the onset of severe neurological deficits in such patients.
一名42岁女性被诊断为左心房黏液瘤，她有皮肤和神经方面的表现，但无心脏症状或体征。二维超声心动图显示左心房有一个橙子大小的活动肿物。磁共振成像显示多处脑梗死。切除左心房黏液瘤的心脏手术成功，组织病理学证实为黏液瘤。术后皮肤和神经方面的表现有所改善。早期手术干预可能会预防此类患者出现严重神经功能缺损。
