Abstract EN
Cardiac myxomas are benign tumors composed of sparse stellate cells in an extensive mucoid stroma.
The surface of these tumors is often friable and gelatinous.
Their intracardiac location makes embolization a constant threat.
We report a patient who had diffuse systemic embolization of a left atrial myxoma coincident with a low-velocity frontal motor vehicle crash.
