title: [Recurrent right atrial myxoma five years after removal of left atrial myxoma; report of a case].
abstract: A 41-year-old man had undergone resection of a left atrial myxoma 5 years previously. Echocardiography revealed a new mass in the right atrium. Because of had increased in size gradually, removal of the right atrial mass involving full-thickness resection of the fossa ovalis was performed. Cardiac myxoma has the potential for heterotopic recurrence.
