[A left atrial myxoma. The clinical aspects].

Abstract:

:The paper describes a case of left atrial myxoma, which was unidentified for many years after the onset of symptoms, with emphasis on the necessity for instrumental investigations (particularly M-mode and two-dimensional echocardiography) in order to obtain an accurate and prompt diagnosis of these affections when the patient's clinical history justifies the suspicion.
