We present the case of a young woman who developed myxomas in multiple cardiac chambers for the third time. One of the tumors was found in the left atrial appendage with the use of transesophageal echocardiography, indicating that this technique is the method of choice for the follow-up of multiple myxomas.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009232 Myxoma A benign neoplasm derived from connective tissue, consisting chiefly of polyhedral and stellate cells that are loosely embedded in a soft mucoid matrix, thereby resembling primitive mesenchymal tissue. It occurs frequently intramuscularly where it may be mistaken for a sarcoma. It appears also in the jaws and the skin. (From Stedman, 25th ed) Angiomyxoma,Angiomyxomas,Myxomas
D009364 Neoplasm Recurrence, Local The local recurrence of a neoplasm following treatment.
