| Popis: | Atrial masses are uncommon and mainly consist of tumours, thrombus and vegetation. 1 Cardiac myxoma is the most common type of benign cardiac tumour and accounts for 30–50% of all primary tumours of the heart. 2 Most of them occur in the left atrium, but the occurrence of biatrial mass/myxoma or concomitant left atrial mass with rheumatic valvular disease is uncommon. We describe a case of biatrial mass mimicking myxoma with rheumatic mitral stenosis. A 40-year-old woman presented with exertional dyspnoea and palpitation was diagnosed to have biatrial mass with rheumatic mitral stenosis and underwent a successful biatrial mass excision and valve replacement. |
