ABSTRACT
Cardiac myxoma is the most common benign cardiac tumor and it presents various clinical symptoms and signs. Although two-thirds of patients have abnormal electrocardiographic findings, atrial flutter or conduction abnormalities are known to be rare. We report on a case of a large left atrial myxoma which was diagnosed by trans-thoracic, trans-esophageal echocardiography, chest computerized tomography, and histological examination. The myxoma was presented as atrial flutter in a 41-year old man who was complaining palpitation and dyspnea on exertion. After surgical excision of the mass, atrial flutter converted to normal sinus rhythm. We report this case with review of literatures on left atrial myxoma associated with arrhythmia.
