Abstract

A 33-year-old man presented to the physician with epigastric discomfort. Computed tomography of the chest and echocardiography showed a mass in the left atrium; this mass was resected and diagnosed as myxoma. 12 months later, myxoma recurred in the right atrium, and it was resected without recurrence for 10 months until now. As there are only a few reports on recurred right atrial myxoma after left atrial myxoma, we report here on successful surgical removal of a recurred right atrial myxoma after resection of left atrial myxoma.

33세 남자가 심와부 불편감을 주소로 내원하여 흉부컴퓨터단층촬영과 심초음파에서 좌심방 내 점액 종으로 수술적 절제하였다. 12개월 후 외래추적 검사에서 첫 번째 수술과 관계없는 부위인 우심방 내 점액종이 발견되어 재수술하였으며 10개월간 재발 없이 지내고 있다. 우리나라에서는 좌심방 내 점액종 제거 후 재발된 좌심방 내 점액종은 보고된 적이 있지만, 우심방에 재발된 경우는 보고된 바가 없어 치험례를 보고한다.
