Contralateral recurrent myxoma of the heart.

ABSTRACT

Nineteen recurrences of a left atrial myxoma have been reported in 16 patients. This paper deals with the removal of a right ventricular myxoma three and one-half years following excision of a left atrial tumor. Because of the possibility of recurrence, postoperative follow-up of all patients with intracardiac myxomas is mandatory.
