Abstract
Primary heart tumors are rare, with atrial myxomas being the most common type. Atrial myxomas can lead to embolisms, heart obstruction, and systemic symptoms. Herein, we report a case of 72-year-old woman who presented with a left atrial myxoma at the atrial septal defect occluder, a new acute cerebral infarction, and MINOCA (myocardial infarction with no obstructive coronary atherosclerosis). Left atrial myxoma is a common primary cardiac tumor; however, left atrial myxomas arising after percutaneous atrial septal defect occlusion are rare. Additionally, the patient presented with a new case of multiple systemic emboli. The patient underwent surgical resection of a left atrial myxoma, occluder, and left atrium, and atrial septal repair, and was discharged with good recovery for outpatient follow-up. The possibility of a cardiac tumor, especially an atrial myxoma, which can lead to a series of complications, should be considered at the closure site after percutaneous atrial septal closure. Therefore, active surgical treatment and long-term follow-up are warranted in such cases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myxomas are primary cardiac tumours that may be detected incidentally due to embolic events, intracardiac obstructive features or non-specific structural symptoms. The aim of this study was to share our experience of clinical features, diagnostic methods, surgical procedures and postoperative follow up of surgically treated cardiac myxomas. METHODS Data of 34 patients who underwent surgery for a cardiac myxoma between January 2006 and June 2022 were retrospectively analysed. Group 1 (n = 19) consisted of patients who were symptomatic and group 2 ( n = 15) patients were asymptomatic. The medical records of the patients, their clinical status, diagnostic methods, operation information and postoperative course data were collected and recorded. RESULTS A total of 34 patients (16 female; mean age 54.5 ± 8.8 years) underwent cardiac myxoma resection with cardiopulmonary bypass. Fifteen (44.1%) patients were diagnosed incidentally with asymptomatic myxoma. An additional cardiac surgical procedure was performed in six patients (17.7%). The 34 cardiac myxomas that were surgically resected were localised in the left atrium in 25 patients (73.5%) and in the right atrium in nine patients (26.5%). Patients' most common symptoms were dyspnoea (42.1%), palpitations (21.1%), ischaemic stroke (15.8%) and syncope (10.5%). There was no incident of 30-day mortality and no recurrence was observed in any patient during the follow-up period. The duration of surgical intervention in symptomatic patients was significantly shorter than in asymptomatic patients (p = 0.0001), but there was no statistical difference in terms of characteristics. CONCLUSIONS Myxomas are benign tumours, but they are serious pathologies that require early treatment because of signs of obstruction, embolic complications and confusion, with left atrial thrombus in the differential diagnosis.

Abstract
Aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare mesenchymal tumour, which usually appears in the pelvic region of women in their reproductive age. Although benign, it is a locally infiltrative tumour with frequent recurrence. We report a case of a pregnant woman in her 30s with a vulvar aggressive angiomyxoma which was initially misdiagnosed. Features of this case are discussed, highlighting the difficulty in its diagnosis and the challenge of the follow-up and treatment of recurrences.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Basilar artery occlusion (BAO) is a rare cause of convulsive seizure. Such patients who are treated for epilepsy will miss the optimal time for treatment. Atrial myxoma is a rare cause of stroke and should be surgically removed as soon as possible after diagnosis. CASE SUMMARY We report a patient who presented with convulsions as the initial symptom and was diagnosed with BAO by computed tomographic angiography. After transthoracic echocardiogram, the cause of the disease was diagnosed as atrial myxoma. The patient recovered well after endovascular treatment and resection of the atrial myxoma. CONCLUSION A small number of patients with BAO present with convulsive seizures. It is very important to make a timely diagnosis. Direct thrombaspiration may be the best choice for basilar artery cardioembolization, and thrombectomy for distal moderate vascular occlusion in posterior circulation is feasible. Atrial myxoma is a rare cause of cardioembolic stroke and should be resected as soon as possible to prevent further embolic complications.

Abstract
Cardiac myxoma is a relatively rare tumour, usually solitary, that occurs primarily in the left atrium of adults, but comprises only 30% of cardiac tumours in children. We recently treated a 12-year-old girl with multiple recurrent myxomas in three cardiac chambers(following surgical resection 3 years earlier). Genomic analysis showed the PKAR1A mutation typical for Carney complex.

Abstract
The purpose of this report is to demonstrate robotic cryoablation of an atrial myxoma stalk as a method to prevent recurrence and preserve atrial tissue. A 38-year-old female patient was taken to the operating room, and an atrial myxoma abutting the left inferior pulmonary vein was resected robotically. This was followed by cryoablation of the tumor stalk instead of a full-thickness resection to prevent an extensive reconstruction. The operation resulted in the successful resection of an atrial myxoma with minimal length of stay. Follow-up at 3 months has shown no evidence of residual or recurrent tumor. Follow-up at 1 year is planned. Cryoablation of an atrial myxoma stalk, when resection would require complex reconstruction, is a useful tool in the armamentarium of a minimally invasive cardiac surgeon.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cardiac myxomas account for 50% of all benign cardiac tumors. Their clinical presentation varies from embolisms to fever. Our objective was to describe the surgical experience in the resection of cardiac myxomas during an 8-year period. METHODS This is a retrospective, descriptive study of a series of cases with cardiac myxomas diagnosed from 2014 to 2022 at a tertiary care center. Descriptive statistics were used to define the populational and surgical characteristics. We used Pearson's correlation to study the relationship between postoperative complications and age, tumor size and affected cardiac chamber. RESULTS 31 patients were included, with a predominance of females (1:2 ratio). The prevalence was 0.44%, which was calculated based on the number of cardiac surgeries performed in our unit over the 8-year period. The main clinical manifestation was dyspnea (85%, n = 23), followed by cerebrovascular event (CVE) (18%, n = 5). Atriotomy and resection of the pedicle were performed with preservation of the interatrial septum. Mortality was 3.2%. The postoperative evolution was uneventful in 77%. Tumor recurrence occurred in 2 patients (7%), both debuting with embolic phenomena. No association was observed between postoperative complications or recurrence and tumor size, nor aortic clamping and extracorporeal circulation times with regard to age. CONCLUSIONS Four atrial myxoma resections are performed in our unit per year, with an estimated prevalence of 0.44%. The tumor characteristics described coincide with the previous literature. A relationship between embolisms and recurrences cannot be ruled out. Wide surgical resection of the pedicle and base of tumor implantation may influence tumor recurrence, although further studies are needed.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Aggressive angiomyxoma (AAM) is a rare mesenchymal locally aggressive tumor arising in the pelvis and perineal region in females. On the other hand, extragenital AAMs are extremely rare, specifically in males. We are reporting male AAM which involves only axillary region along with its pathological features. To confirm it, immunohistochemistry (IHC) was done. In sum, pathological examination and IHC aid in distinguishing this lesion and help in differentiating it from other tumors of similar histology. Furthermore, it also aids in planning treatment.

Abstract
Cardiac myxoma is a very rare benign cardiac neoplasm. Its annual incidence globally is between 0.5 to 1 case per one million individuals. It has a 0.03% prevalence rate in the general population. It commonly occurs in the left atrium, but can also be located in the other heart chambers. Its clinical presentations are variable, non-specific, and can mimic various cardiovascular and systemic diseases, posing a diagnostic dilemma. Thus, a high index of suspicion with appropriate use of radiologic and laboratory diagnostic tools is essential for its accurate diagnosis and management. The diagnosis and management of a rare case of left atrial myxoma in a middle-aged African woman who presented with heart failure-like symptoms, features of acute pulmonary edema, and syncope is presented in this literature. The diagnosis was suspected following echocardiography. The tumor was surgically excised, and the diagnosis was confirmed histopathologically. The patient´s post-operative condition has been excellent.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myxomas are the most prevalent type of heart tumors, mainly occurring in the left atrium, with approximately 20% of cases found in the right atrium. Timely diagnosis and appropriate management of myxomas are crucial for favorable outcomes and to minimize complications. CASE PRESENTATION A 77-year-old Asian male with no significant medical history presented with intermittent trepopnea and palpitations. Physical examination revealed regular heart sounds and no other relevant findings. A transthoracic echocardiogram showed a large, round-shaped, smooth-edged mass with diameter of 86 mm, occupying most of the right atrium. Mild tricuspid flow obstruction and mild left ventricular systolic dysfunction were also observed. Cardiac tomography confirmed the size, smooth edges, and showed microcalcifications of the mass, with no invasion of surrounding tissues. Surgical intervention successfully removed the spheroid mass, leading to the alleviation of symptoms. Histopathology confirmed the myxoma nature of the mass. A comprehensive discussion based on relevant medical literature is provided, with emphasis on echocardiographic characteristics of the mass with relation to potential embolic disease. CONCLUSION This case shows an atypical presentation of an exceptionally large myxoma in the right atrium, resembling the size of a polo ball, in a patient presenting with supraventricular arrhythmia and trepopnea. Early diagnosis and appropriate management played a vital role in achieving a successful outcome for the patient.

Abstract
Left ventricular masses are rare entities that often require surgical excision when diagnosed due to the risk of embolization. We report 2 separate patients presenting with evidence of cerebral embolization both of whom were diagnosed with isolated left ventricular masses and underwent surgical excision through a robot-assisted approach. Microscopic pathology revealed a myxoma and hemangioma, respectively. Both cases demonstrate that left ventricular masses can be feasibly excised through a robot-assisted minithoracotomy approach.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to report the clinicopathological features and management of the first case of bilateral synchronous conjunctival myxoma. METHODS This study was a case report and literature review. RESULTS A 66-year-old Chinese male with past ocular history of uncomplicated bilateral phacoemulsification and intraocular lens (IOLs) 3 years ago prior to presentation presented with bilateral red and swollen conjunctiva for over a year. On examination his corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) was 25/20 in the right eye 20/20 in the left eye. Slit lamp examination revealed swollen temporal conjunctiva bilaterally which appeared as painless, well-circumscribed, salmon-pink, fleshy patches. The lesion in the right eye was subsequently excised, followed by excision of the lesion in the left eye at 3-week interval. Microscopically, histopathological examination of both excised specimens revealed hypocellular conjunctival mucosa covered by non-dysplastic epithelium, with presence of myxoid degeneration in the subepithelial stroma and immunostaining findings consistent with conjunctival myxoma. At his latest follow-up at 24 months, there were no recurrences of the conjunctival masses and the CDVA was the same as preoperatively.
