'Foetus' in Heart: A case of myxoma
Erişkin yaş grubunda en sık rastlanan primer kardiyak tümör olan miksomalar patolojik olarak iyi huylu kitlelerdir. Miksomalı hastalar asemptomatik olarak tesadüfen saptanabildiği gibi çok farklı klinik belirti ve bulgularla ortaya çıkabilirler. Bunlardan biri de periferik embolidir. Bu yazıda akut arter embolisi ile başvuran sinüs ritmindeki genç bayan hastada emboli kaynağı olarak tespit edilen ve cerrahi olarak eksize edilen bir miksoma olgusu sunulmaktadır. Miksomanın ekokardiyografik görüntüsü anne karnındaki bir fetüsü andırmasıyla dikkat çekiciydi.
