The possible causative factors of synchronous or metachronous occurrence of both malignancies and varieties in the treatment modalities are reviewed according to published cases in English language medical literature.展开更多

Because prolapsing myxomas cause the intermittent obstruction of the valvular outflow tract during diastole, the signs and symptoms of left atrial myxoma resemble mitral stenosis. Myxoma may lead to systemic thromboembolic events from tumor fragmentation. In addition, lung carcinoma is a common tumor with highly heterogeneous malignancies.展开更多
