Atrial myxomas are the most common benign cardiac neoplasms. Although the majority occur in the left atrium (LA) and are attached to the interatrial septum (75-80 % of cases), they can arise from any part of the LA and the cardiac chambers. We report the case of a 65-year-old woman who presented with features of worsening dyspnea and persistent headache. During transthoracic echocardiography, a suspected cardiac myxoma was found arising from the posterior wall of the LA.
心房黏液瘤是最常见的心脏良性肿瘤。虽然大多数发生在左心房(LA)并附着于房间隔(75-80%的病例),但它们可起源于左心房和心腔的任何部位。我们报告一例65岁女性患者,其表现为进行性呼吸困难和持续性头痛。在经胸超声心动图检查中,发现一个疑似心脏黏液瘤起源于左心房后壁。
