title: The pathology of metastatic cardiac myxoma.
abstract: The authors describe a case of a "benign" cardiac myxoma with metastases to a previously unreported site, the right temporal bone. The cardiac tumor became evident five years after the bone tumor presentation. Patients with myxomas in unusual locations should have a complete cardiac evaluation.
