  Abstract

Familial cardiac myxoma is a rare syndrome which constitutes approximately 10% or less of all myxomas. We describe a rare case of LA and LV mass simultaneously in a 35-year-old female presenting to our hospital for evaluation of recurrent cardiac myxoma. Echocardiography revealed both LA and LV mass. Surgery was done and histological findings confirmed the diagnosis of myxoma.

Keywords: Myxoma; Echocardiography; Carney's syndrome
