Özet
Primary cardiac neoplasms are very rare as compared to metastatic tumors. 70% to 80% of them are benign myxomas. Complications of myxomas include cyst and microabscess formation, embolization, syncope and sudden death. Rarely, cardiac myxomas are associated with primary nodular adrenal cortical disease, mam-mary fibroadenomas, testicular tumors or pitiutary adenomas with gigantism or acromegaly known as Carney’s syndrome. We present a patient with a left atrial myxoma who underwent reoperation associated with Carney’s syndrome.
