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]
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 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]
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]

Atrial myxomas are benign tumors of the heart. Left myxomas are far more common than right myxomas and those may cause obstruction of the mitral valve producing a mid-diastolic murmur similar to that of mitral stenosis.
