[Noninvasive diagnosis of bilocular left atrial and right ventricular myxoma of the heart].
Bilateral cardiac myxomas are very rare and therefore mostly overlooked. In most cases the diagnosis has been made intraoperatively or at postmortem examination. We report on a 60-year-old woman with a left atrial and right ventricular myxoma where diagnosis was made by echocardiography and computer tomography, and confirmed histologically after successful surgical and therapeutic aspects are discussed.
