Echocardiographic and Clinical Features in Diagnosis of Rare Cardiac Myxomas

Abstract Background: Cardiac myxoma(CM) is a rare cardiac disease, with the majority located in the left atrium and less commonly in the right atrium, right ventricular, biatrial, left ventricular, right ventricular outflow tract or heart valves. These rare CMs need to be distinguished from other masses. The purses of our study is to provide important value in finding the extra-atrial tumor and making the correct diagnosis by reviewed echocardiographic and clinical features of five rare CMs. Methods: We reviewed medical records and echocardiographic data in all patients with surgery diagnosis of rare CMs from January 2019 to June 2020 in the second affiliated hospital, Xi’an Jiaotong University. Results: Five patients were enrolled in our study. The sites of CMs were rare and located separately on RV, PV, LV, LA and LVOT, LA. Four cases was myxomas and one was lipoma. Five patients recovered well after operation. Conclusions: Cardiac tumors developed in unusual locations should be considered to exclude the possibility of myxoma.
