Primary cardiac tumors are extremely rare. In one study, incidence was reported being less than 0.1%. The purpose of this case report is to review different presentations of cardiac myxoma. A 34-year-old female with past medical history of drug abuse was brought into the emergency department (ED) after a motor vehicle collision. She was found to have multiple fractures with a hypodense mass in the left atrium. Further evaluation showed a left atrial myxoma. The patient underwent myxoma resection. The clinical appearance of myxoma varies from non-specific to life-threatening complications, such as stroke, acute heart failure, or even sudden death. A surgical resection is the treatment of choice for cardiac myxomas.
原发性心脏肿瘤极为罕见。在一项研究中，报告的发病率低于0.1%。本病例报告的目的是回顾心脏黏液瘤的不同表现形式。一名有药物滥用病史的34岁女性在机动车碰撞后被送往急诊科。她被发现有多处骨折，左心房有一个低密度肿块。进一步评估显示为左心房黏液瘤。患者接受了黏液瘤切除术。黏液瘤的临床表现从非特异性到危及生命的并发症不等，如中风、急性心力衰竭甚至猝死。手术切除是心脏黏液瘤的首选治疗方法。
