Echocardiography. 2000 Feb;17(2):169-71. doi: 10.1111/j.1540-8175.2000.tb01119.x.

Abstract

We present the case of a young woman who developed myxomas in multiple cardiac chambers for the third time. One of the tumors was found in the left atrial appendage with the use of transesophageal echocardiography, indicating that this technique is the method of choice for the follow-up of multiple myxomas.
