Recurrence of atrial myxoma arising from the site other than inter-atrial septum is quite rare, which is more common in familial than sporadic cases. We here in present a case of 15-year-old young female who presented with recurrence of left atrial (LA) myxoma from unusual site - posterior LA wall after 3 years without any constitutional symptoms, which is the hallmark of recurrence. Complete removal of underlying atrial septum with atrial wall for recurrence prevention is the dictum in primary operation for tumour removal.
源于房间隔以外部位的心房黏液瘤复发相当罕见,在家族性病例中比散发性病例更常见。我们在此报告一例15岁年轻女性病例,该患者在3年后左心房黏液瘤从非寻常部位——左心房后壁复发,且无任何全身症状,而这是复发的标志。在初次肿瘤切除手术中,为预防复发,彻底切除包括心房壁在内的潜在房间隔是原则。
