A myxoma is a rare benign tumor of the heart. Myxomata are the most common primary cardiac tumor in adults, and are most commonly found within the left atrium near the valve of the fossa ovalis. Myxoma may also develop in the other heart chambers. [1] The tumor is derived from multipotent mesenchymal cells. [1]
The LAMB acronym refers to lentigines, atrial myxomas, and blue nevi. [1] NAME refers to nevi, atrial myxoma, myxoid neurofibromas, and ephelides. [1] Testicular cancer, particularly Sertoli cell type, is associated with Carney syndrome. [7] Thyroid and pancreas cancer may also occur. [8] [9]
Myxoma is a rare, benign stromal tumor of mesenchymal origin often confused with other conjunctival stromal tumors. Conjunctival myxomas are thought to originate in Tenon's capsule and can masquerade as conjunctival lymphoma, lymphangioma, ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN), or amelanotic melanoma.

The most common primary tumor of the heart is the myxoma. In surgical series, the myxoma makes up as much as 77% of all primary tumors of the heart. [2] Less common tumors of the heart include: [3] Lipoma; Rhabdomyoma; Cystic tumor of the atrioventricular nodal region. [citation needed]

Angiomyxomas are associated with LAMB (lentigines, atrial myxomas, muco-cutaneous myxomas, and blue naevi) syndrome, [2] NAME (nevi, atrial myxoma, myxoid neurofibromas, and ephelides) [3] syndrome and Carney syndrome (atrial, cutaneous and mammary myxomas, lentigines, blue naevi, endocrine disorders and testicular tumours). [4]
Atrial myxoma. This tumoral phenotype is shared by many tumoral entities: Myxomas. Atrial myxoma; Odontogenic myxoma; Cutaneous myxoma; Intramuscular myxoma; Myxoid hamartoma; Aggressive angiomyxoma; Myxoid leiomyoma; Chondromyxoid fibroma; Myxoid neurofibroma; Nerve sheath myxoma (neurothekeoma) Myxolipoma; Angiomyofibroblastoma; Myxoid ...
