title: [A case of cardiac myxoma associated with congenital oculocutaneous albinism].
abstract: This case is a 43 year-old-woman of left atrial myxoma associated with oculocutaneous albinism, who was admitted to our hospital because of nocturnal cough everyday. Electrocardiogram showed normal sinus rhythm and complete right bundle branch block. Chest X-ray disclosed slight enlargement of left atrium. Echocardiography revealed the left atrial pedunculated tumor, arising from atrial septum, prolapsing into left ventricle during diastole, which was coincided with lucent tumor by levophase of pulmonary arteriography. Feeder artery of this tumor was visualized by right coronary arteriography. Cardiac catheterization represented normal pressure of right-sided heart. Thus the diagnosis of left atrial myxoma was established. At the operation, radical excision of the base of tumor and septum and patch closure was undergone. The gross morphology and microscopic findings were consistent with myxoma.
