Three middle-aged patients (38, 40 and 41 years old; two women and one man) with left atrial myxoma diagnosed by echocardiography and successfully operated on are presented. Two patients had tumor embolus as the dominant presenting symptom. The time span between the first symptoms and the echocardiographic diagnosis was 6 months, 12 months, and 12 days, respectively. From that moment to surgery the average lag was 6.3 days only, including the complex transportation to distant surgical centres. All the patients are now alive, all with normal findings more than 2 years after the operation.
