Case 8
Presented by: Dr. Rosa Henriques de Gouveia
Clinical History
The case hereby presented corresponds to an 18-year-old white male who seek medical care due to fever, chest pain ( radiating to the back) and tiredness for 10 days. During clinical investigation an echocardiogram was performed, revealing a ‘’mass’’ inside the left atrium, that raised the suspicion of a myxoma. He had antecedens of tonsilectomy , appendectomy and excision of a pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid gland. His father had recently died of lung cancer. The patient was transferred to the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department for surgical removal of the tumour, where a tansesophagic echocardiogram better characterized its connection to the interatrial septum by a stalk.
