Abstract

We report about a 52-year old woman, who underwent a resection of a left atrial myxoma 20 years ago. Twelve years later she suffered from exertional dyspnea. Echocardiography revealed a recurrent myxoma. This was resected. Eight years later the woman suffered from disturbances of heart rhythm and from angina pectoris. The coronary arteries were normal, but a recurrent left atrial myxoma was found and operated. We conclude a long-term follow-up is inevitable in patients after the resection of a myxoma.
