Cardiac myxomas are a rare phenomenon within the general population, and although there are reports of them, giant myxomas are not common in the medical literature. This report presents a case of a giant left atrial cardiac myxoma in a 57-year-old female patient who was largely asymptomatic until she presented with a diffuse thromboembolic stroke. This case report highlights the importance of surgical management of cardiac myxomas and discusses the difference in open vs minimally invasive surgical resection of giant cardiac myxomas.
心脏黏液瘤在普通人群中是一种罕见现象，虽然有相关报道，但巨大黏液瘤在医学文献中并不常见。本报告介绍了一例57岁女性患者的巨大左心房心脏黏液瘤病例，该患者在出现弥漫性血栓栓塞性中风之前基本无症状。本病例报告强调了心脏黏液瘤手术治疗的重要性，并讨论了巨大心脏黏液瘤开放手术与微创手术切除的差异。
