  • Title: Left atrial myxoma: computed tomography as a diagnostic modality.
    Author: Huggins TJ, Huggins MJ, Schnapf DJ, Brott WH, Sinnott RC, Shawl FA.
    Journal: J Comput Assist Tomogr; 1980 Apr; 4(2):253-5. PubMed ID: 7365024.
    Abstract:
    The workup of left atrial myxomas has variably ranged from a physical examination, laboratory tests, and echocardiography to the invasive modalities of angiography and cardiac surgery. We propose that computed tomography (CT) be considered a sensitive, noninvasive adjuvant in the diagnosis of these tumors. This report describes successful utilization of CT imaging in one such case of proven left atrial myxoma.
