Atrial Myxoma -2 Cases report-

심방점액종 -2례 보고-

Cardiac myxomas are most common benign tumor and comprise approximately 50% of all primary cardiac neoplasms. They are intracavitary tumors occurring within any of the cardiac chambers, but they have a predilection for the atria and particularly the left atrium. Its are usually arise from the region of the limbus of the fossa ovalis. Clinically, they present with various manifestations due to obstruction to blood flow, embolization, and constitutional changes. Excision with the aid of cardiopulmonary bypass has been established as the treatment of choice for these histologically benign, but potentially malignant tumors and has generally produced good results [17]. We have experienced two cases atrial myxomas, one is left, the other is right and resected under established cardiopulmonary bypass, so we report these cases with the review of the literature.
