Abstract
Background Myxomas are the most common form of benign primary
cardiac tumor, most of them are located in the left atrium. When they
are located in the right atrium, It may occur with pulmonary artery
embolism. Methods and Results A 72-year-old woman had endured
more than 5 months with chest tightness and difficulty breathing. Based
on various clinical findings and data, we diagnosed this subject as
Cushing’s syndrome. Emergency bedside ultrasound showed right atrial
tumor, which was confirmed by coronary computed tomography angiography
(CCTA).The patient underwent surgical resection of the right atrial and
pulmonary artery tumors.In the two subsequent short-term reviews (one
month and half a year after surgery), we found same new myxoma in the
atrial septum and pulmonary nodules. Discussion Tumor
recurrence is uncommon, although not unknown, after complete excision.
Recurrence following surgical excision is rare, with an incidence of
only 1%–3% of all myxomas, and the postoperative course is generally
good. However, some myxomas occur as part of a syndrome known as Carney
complex, which have some unusual features. Conclusion They face
a mottled skin pigmentation, and gorgeous features of Cushing’s
syndrome. Myxomas recurrence have been reported in numerous reports. In
contrast with other reported cases, a specific characteristic of the
present case was the short-term recurrence of Cardiac myxoma and newly
grown nodules in the lungs. Patients received our recommendations for
lifetime anticoagulation therapy and long-term follow-up observations.
