Posterior wall as atypical localization of left atrial myxoma : Diagnosis and management.
2016
: Atrial myxomas are the most common benign cardiac neoplasms. Although the majority occur in the left atrium (LA) and are attached to the interatrial septum (75-80 % of cases), they can arise from any part of the LA and the cardiac chambers. We report the case of a 65-year-old woman who presented with features of worsening dyspnea and persistent headache. During transthoracic echocardiography, a suspected cardiac myxoma was found arising from the posterior wall of the LA.
