Biatrial myxoma associated with mitral valve lesion.
Biatrial myxomas are extremely rare. By 1983, only eight successful removals of such tumors had been reported. We describe another such patient, who also had involvement of the mitral valve. Diagnostic aspects of echocardiography and a simple operative technique for the en bloc removal of both tumors are discussed.
