Recurrence of cardiac myxoma three decades after first extraction - never say never

TTE revealed an oval solid mobile mass, approximately 45x35 mm, in the right ventricular outflow tract with prolapse into the pulmonary valve (fig 1a, b), slightly increased right ventricular diameter and moderate tricuspid regurgitation. Since CM grows on average 0.24-1.6 cm per year, recurrence of...

Zusammenfassung:	TTE revealed an oval solid mobile mass, approximately 45x35 mm, in the right ventricular outflow tract with prolapse into the pulmonary valve (fig 1a, b), slightly increased right ventricular diameter and moderate tricuspid regurgitation. Since CM grows on average 0.24-1.6 cm per year, recurrence of this benign but potentially fatal disease can be detected at an early stage by echocardiographic monitoring [1,2].
