Atrial myxoma is a benign primary heart tumour, which can be found incidentally on imaging studies. It is usually located in the left atrium and may manifest as dyspnoea, chest pain, heart failure, cough, shortness of breath when rising from a recumbent position, haemoptysis, hoarseness and as a source of cardiac embolism. However, dysphagia caused by an atrial myxoma has been reported only twice in the literature. We present a 53-year-old Caucasian man with a chronic history of dysphagia caused by an atrial myxoma, in which surgical resection resulted in complete resolution of his dysphagia.
心房黏液瘤是一种良性原发性心脏肿瘤，可在影像学检查中偶然发现。它通常位于左心房，可能表现为呼吸困难、胸痛、心力衰竭、咳嗽、平卧起身时气短、咯血、声音嘶哑以及作为心脏栓塞的来源。然而，心房黏液瘤引起的吞咽困难在文献中仅报道过两例。我们报告一名53岁的白种男性，因心房黏液瘤导致慢性吞咽困难，手术切除后吞咽困难完全缓解。
