Abstract
Baran Budak, MD Yuksek Ihtisas Hospital Department of Cardiovascular Surgery Ankara/Turkey Sirs: Primary tumors of the heart are rare, most of them are benign and nearly half of them are myxomas [1]. Because of the lack of specific symptoms before the tumor has reached a certain size, their recognition and treatment generally take place in older patients [2]. Although nearly 90% of all myxomas are sporadic, familial myxomas have autosomal domiant transmission and are often present within the construct of a larger syndrome. The “syndrome myxoma” or “Carney’s syndrome” is characterized by both cardiac and noncardiac myxomas, spotty pigmentation, and endocrine overactivity (pituitary, adrenocortical, endocrine testicular tumors) [3, 4].
