Multiple recurrences of cardiac myxomas are rare and high-light the problem of re-operation. We report a case of double recurrence of left atrial myxoma and analyse the causes of recurrence. In our case, the first myxoma was inserted in the left inter-atrial septum, and the first recurrent tumor was inserted near the pulmonary vein, forming adhesion with the inter-atrial septum. The second recurrent tumor was inserted in the inter-atrial septum. The first operation resected the tumor, including part of the inter-atrial septum, and the sides of the septum were sutured. The two following operations used a patch for the septoplasty. This case is sporadic and not included in the high risk myxoma recurrence syndrome. Incomplete tumor resection is incriminated in one third of recurrences but seems unlikely in our case.

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.
