  Abstract

A left atrial myxoma was surgically removed in a 58-year-old man following several embolic events. Five months later, a new myxoma was found in the right ventricular outflow tract and surgically removed. In this patient, we visualized two more recurrences 14 years later, one in the left atrium and the other in the left ventricle. A short review of the literature concerning recurrent cardiac myxomas is given.

Keywords: myxoma cordis; recidive; surgical resection
