This report describes the case of a 40 year old woman with a giant left atrial myxoma. Only a thin path of 9 mm diameter allowed blood flow through the left atrial chamber to the left ventricle. Despite this obstruction, the patient developed only minimal symptoms. Echocardiography, especially transoesophageal mode is the diagnostic procedure of choice to detect these tumours. The giant mass was successfully removed and the patient is doing well two years after surgery.
本报告描述了一名40岁患有巨大左心房黏液瘤的女性病例。仅有一条直径9毫米的狭窄通道允许血液从左心房流入左心室。尽管存在这种梗阻，但患者仅出现了轻微症状。超声心动图，尤其是经食管模式，是检测这些肿瘤的首选诊断方法。这个巨大肿块已成功切除，患者术后两年情况良好。
