We observed a right atrial myxoma presenting with recurrent episodes of pulmonary embolism, the diagnosis of which was made approximately 2 years after the initial symptoms appeared. We emphasize the importance of prompt recognition and subsequent surgical treatment of cardiac myxoma because embolism by tumor fragments is a potentially fatal complication of this condition.
我们观察到一例右心房黏液瘤，该患者表现为复发性肺栓塞，其诊断在初始症状出现约2年后做出。我们强调及时识别并随后对心脏黏液瘤进行手术治疗的重要性，因为肿瘤碎片引起的栓塞是这种疾病的一种潜在致命并发症。
