FEMORAL ARTERIAL EMBOLUS AS FIRST PRESENTATION OF LEFT ATRIAL MYXOMA: CASE REPORT

Abstract

Cardiac myxomas are the most common primary tumor of the heart and they cause systemic embolization if they are located in the left atrium. We report a young case of cardiac myxoma presenting as acute ischemia of limb due to embolic phenomena. In histological study, besides the thrombus, there were stellate and fusiform cells with hiperchromatic nuclei in a myxoid matrix. It was thought that ıt could be systemic embolization of a cardiac myxoma.Transthoracic two dimensinal cardiac echocardiography showed the primary cardiac tumor. The cardiac myxoma diagnosis was also confirmed in surgical specimen. Calretinin antibody was used in the differential diagnosis of cardiac myxoma and a myxoid thrombus. Left atrial myxoma should be suspected as a cause of systemic embolization in young patients without arrhythmia and atherosclerosis. Calretinin antibody is a useful marker in differential diagnosis of cardiac myxoma and myxoid thrombus.
