An embolized fragment of an atrial myxoma in the iliac bifurcation. Although a myxoma is not malignant with risk of metastasis, [3] complications are common. Untreated, a myxoma can lead to an embolism (tumor cells breaking off and traveling with the bloodstream). Myxoma fragments can move to the brain, eye, or limbs. [citation needed]
Thromboembolic symptoms: lung and systemic thromboembolic condition resulting from the tumor. [5] Symptoms caused by primary cardiac tumors are usually dependent on size and location. Cardiac tumors can cause a variety of symptoms. The mass size can obstruct blood flow or interfere with cardiac valve function and produce symptoms of heart failure.
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.

Isolated TS are often associated with carcinoid disease and right atrial myxoma. Mid-diastolic Atrial myxoma: 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. Mid-diastolic
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]
