Abstract

We describe the growth of a primary left atrial myxoma over a period of approximately 27 months, review the literature on the growth rate of primary myxoma and discuss the value of echocardiography compared to CT scan and MRI in the diagnosis of intracardiac tumuors.

Key Words: Atrial myxoma • tumour growth rate
