Abstract
We report on an 18-year-old man with a right atrial myxoma complicated by widespread pulmonary infarction. Under cardiopulmonary bypass, a typical gelatin-like myxoma of 65 g in weight and the segments of pulmonary infarction were simultaneously removed. From the excised lung specimens, pulmonary tissue infarction caused by myxoma acting as a blocker was recognized. This was a very rare case of myxoma complicated by pulmonary infarction, and we report here the successful removal of the right myxoma and partial pneumonectomy.
