[Fibromyxoma of the left ventricle as a cause of heart aneurysm and recurrent thromboembolism].
Primary heart tumours are a rarity but no more an academic curiosity. When recognised they may be successfully surgically treated. A Cardiac tumour is to be suspected in thromboembolism of young people especially in the absence of cardiac symptoms. A short review of possible symptoms and diagnostic methods available in the present is given. A successfully operated case of fibromyxoma of the left ventricle with consecutive cardiac aneurysm and peripheral thromboembolism is presented. Selective coronary angiography and cine-cardioangiography were the deciding investigations. The nature of the tumour is shown by means of classical histology as with the aid of electron microscopy.
