A 74-year-old woman presented with exertion dyspnea. Echocardiography and coronary angiography revealed a large left atrial mass with abnormal neovascularization within multiple lacunae (Fig. 1). The patient was operated on and an atypical myxomatous mass was excised (Fig. 2). Fig. 1. Left, mass in the left atrial cavity (white star). Right, coronarography: hypertrophic atrial branch with distal contrast agent accumulation within atypical lacunae (black arrow, atrial branch; white arrow, lacunae). Fig. 2. Left, surgical specimen (large arrow, implant area; thin arrow, blood-stuffed area including lacunae). Right, histology exam: large abnormal vessels (white star) surrounded by myxoid material (black star). Alcian-PAS staining, magnification 40!.
