Abstract: PurposeHeart myxomas have been frequently considered as benign lesions associated with Carney’s complex. However, after surgical removal, myxomas re-emerge causing dysfunctional heart.MethodsTo identify whether cardiac myxomas may develop a metastatic phenotype as occurs in malignant… read more here.
