Giant asymptomatic left atrial myxoma.
The classic triad of myxoma clinical presentation is characterized by intracardiac obstruction, embolisms, and constitutional symptoms with fever, weight loss, or symptoms resembling connective tissue disease. Giant myxoma without symptoms are very rare. We present a case of a 30-year-old female with a giant asymptomatic myxoma in the left atrium, discovered by echocardiography. The patient was asymptomatic.
