Abstract EN

Myxoma, a rare type of intracardiac tumor, forms a very small percentage of the cardiac cases.

Reports of biatrial myxoma are rarer, with cases of single tumor reaching both atria being more common.

Here, we present an unusual case of two independently growing atrial myxoma in a 29-year-old female.

We emphasize that early recognition of symptoms, confirmation of diagnosis by transesophageal echocardiography, and prompt surgical excision remain vital in the management of such patients.

The patient in the present case was managed successfully with no evidences of recurrence at the last follow-up.
