Although cardiac myxoma is the most commonly encountered benign cardiac tumor in cardiac surgery practice, recurrent cardiac myxoma is very rare, is most commonly related to the Carney complex, and usually requires multiple cardiac operations with specific requirements in terms of perioperative management. In this report, we describe a patient who experienced the fourth recurrence of cardiac myxoma and review the diagnostic criteria of the Carney complex. This is the first report of such a case in Korea.

Cardiac tumors are rare, and multiple myxomas are even rarer. The latter phenomenon is mostly associated with the Carney complex, a dominantly inherited disease characterized by multiple primary cardiac myxomas, endocrinopathy, and spotty pigmentation of the skin. We report the rare case of a patient who did not have the Carney complex but had multiple primary cardiac tumors. A 78-year-old woman with a past history of breast cancer was referred to our hospital for further examination of multiple cardiac tumors. Echocardiography showed 4 tumors in the left atrium and left ventricle. We could not diagnose them preoperatively and decided to resect them surgically because they were mobile and could have caused embolism and obstruction. The postoperative pathological findings of all 4 tumors were myxomas, although the patient did not meet the diagnostic criteria of the Carney complex. Therefore, a rare case of multiple primary cardiac myxomas was diagnosed.

Cardiac myxomas are the most common primary benign tumors of uncertain etiology. They usually present as polypoid or oval-shaped masses projecting into a heart chamber from the interatrial septum and have a soft, gelatinous consistency without a cystic structure. We report a case of left atrial myxoma with a single cystic form.

Carney complex (CNC) is an autosomal dominant disorder that involves the heart, multiple endocrine systems, testis, skin, breast, and bone. We report a case of a 38-year-old woman, diagnosed with CNC, with a mass involving the petrous bone, a pituitary adenoma, a cavernous angioma, multiple cerebral aneurysms, and venous malformations. CNC should be included in the differential diagnoses of patients who have an atrial myxoma, brain tumor, or intracranial vascular malformations.

Primary tumors of the heart are rare and the most are benign. Malignant tumors constitute less than 25% of primary cardiac tumors and angiosarcomas are the most commonly reported histologic type. At least 160 cases have been reported in the world, but no previous report in Korea. We reported a case of primary cardiac angiosarcoma located in right atrium.
