Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to review and discuss all the topics and issues related to the diagnosis and management of atrial myxomas. These tumors represent the most common primary heart tumors and may present with a wide range of symptom spectrum making the diagnosis sometimes difficult. Echocardiography is the gold standard tool for diagnosis as well as follow-up. Due to its potential serious consequences, myxoma should be removed as soon as possible. While surgery results in excellent overall survival and freedom from reoperation rates, annual follow-up is recommended particularly in familial cases.
