Myxoma cases and corresponding intervention

Age/sex	Symptoms	Imaging findings	Management	Histopathological findings	References
50s/female	With sudden pain in right leg Paraesthesia Discomfort in the right popliteal fossa	CT angiogram revealed bilateral popliteal occlusions and bilateral segmental renal infarcts	Heparin infusion Bilateral popliteal embolectomies Single-compartment fasciotomy	Histopathology of the popliteal embolus confirmed a cardiac myxoma with papillary projections and abundant loose myxoid stroma	Ho et al57
Early adolescence/male	Recurrent episodes of syncope Blurring of vision Palpitations Light-headedness	Two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography The gelatinous masses in the right atrium, right ventricle and left atrium suggest a triple-chamber myxoma	Transoesophageal echocardiogram Bilateral atrial and right ventricular tumours were removed through mitral valve repair	A pathological study of the tumour confirmed the diagnosis of cardiac myxoma	Evangelista26
50s/male	Acute and severe pain in the right lower extremity Paraesthesia Intermittent episodes of dizziness and palpitations for 2 months	CT angiography	Femoral thromboembolectomy by groin cut-down with four-compartment fasciotomy	Histological examination of the embolus showed spindle-shaped cells within a collagenous myxoid stroma, consistent with a myxoma	Mohamed et al58
20s/male	Sudden onset of resting pain pallor and numbness of the right leg	Doppler ultrasonography (acute occlusion of lower extremities in the right leg)	The patient underwent median sternotomy, and cardiopulmonary bypass was performed	Histopathological examination confirmed that the embolus was a myxoma	Zhang et al1
