Left atrial myxoma is well-known mimicker of systemic vasculitis. In general, however, these patients showed some symptoms and signs of cardiovascular disease. We experienced a patient with left atrial myxoma who first presented as vasculitis without any symptoms and signs suggesting cardiovascular disorders. A 45 year-old lady showed tender skin nodules, livedo reticuiaris-like skin lesions, severe constitutional symptoms, multiple cerebral infarctions, and elevated ESR and globulin. Skin biopsy findings were thought to be consistent with polyarteritis nodosa. Echocardiography was performed as a routine test for evaluating suspected vasculitis patients and it revealed left atrial myxoma. However, we were not able to detect any auscultation abnormality, even after echocardiography, After echocardiography, we found the tumor emboli in skin biopy specimen with deeper section. This case demonstrated the importance of suspecting the possibility of left atrial myxoma when performing diagnostic work-up for vasculitis.

Tooth wear is a physiologic process, but when accelerated by specific factors, it is considered pathologic wear, leading various issues that require prosthodontic intervention. Full-mouth prosthetic rehabilitation is often considered to restore adequate vertical dimension and esthetics for patients with severely worn dentition.However, a minimally invasive prosthodontic approach through multidisciplinary collaboration may be feasible for patients with localized anterior or posterior wear. This clinical case addressed the treatment for excessive anterior deep bites and pathologic wear of the anterior teeth, leading to deteriorated esthetics and function. Orthodontic extrusion was employed in the posterior teeth to increase the vertical dimension of occlusion and secure adequate space for the anterior restorations. A minimally invasive treatment was possible by limiting the scope of treatment to the anterior region. As a result, function and esthetics were improved by restoring only the teeth with pathologic wear without removing healthy tooth structure.
