摘要

Myxomas are benign cardiac tumours that are mostly (75％) located in the left atrium,but they also can be found in the right atrium (15％-20％),in the right ventricle (4％)and in the left ventricle (3％).[1] A 71-year-old male presented to a district hospital with exertional dyspnea,orthopnea,postural dizziness and significant weight loss over the last year.He had no known previous cardiac history and from his medical history he had only hypertension and diabetes.A transthoracic echocardiogram showed a large mass in the left atrium (Figure 1A),otherwise the rest of the study was unremarkable.
