[Large, asymptomatic left atrial myxoma--a case report]
Abstract
We report a patient with a large, asymptomatic left atrial myxoma detected by transoesophageal echocardiography. The tumour filled the great part of the left atrium cave and led to mitral valve obstruction. Surgical management gave an excellent result.
