title: Multiple Local Recurrent Myxoma.
abstract: Cardiac myxomas, usually considered benign tumors, occasionally pursue an aggressive clinical course. The recurrence of sporadic myxomas is much less frequent than that of complex or familial myxomas (1-3% vs. 22% vs. 12%, respectively). We report a case of sporadic myxoma with multiple local recurrence in the left atrium diagnosed by transesophageal two-dimensional echocardiography 4 years after the first excision.
