A report is given on the occurrence of left atrial myxoma in both mother and daughter. A successful operation for a local recurrence was performed on the mother 4 years later. Sudden death of unknown cause occurred at young age in other siblings and was accompanied in one by arterial embolism, suggesting an even higher incidence. The potential accumulation of cardiac myxomas in a family was confirmed by a literature survey of 8 "myxoma families". Observation of these cases calls for the following Careful surgical excision because of the danger of a local recurrence. Echocardiographic follow-up for at least 5 years. Investigation of relatives.
报告了一位母亲和女儿均患左心房黏液瘤的病例。4年后，母亲因局部复发接受了成功的手术。其他兄弟姐妹在年轻时不明原因突然死亡，其中一人伴有动脉栓塞，提示发病率可能更高。通过对8个“黏液瘤家族”的文献调查，证实了心脏黏液瘤在家族中可能聚集。对这些病例的观察提示需要做到以下几点：由于存在局部复发的风险，需谨慎进行手术切除；进行至少5年的超声心动图随访；对亲属进行调查。
