Information of 40 patients operated on for cardiac myxoma was reviewed. The age ranges were as follows: nine patients, 20 to 30 years; seven patients, 31 to 40 years; 10 patients, 41 to 50 years; and 11 patients, over 50 years. One patient each was 14 months, 14 years, and 16 years old. Left atrial myxoma was diagnosed in 31 patients, left ventricular myxoma in one, right atrial myxoma in five, and right ventricular myxoma in two. Multiple calcified right atrial and ventricular myxomas were detected in one patient. Detailed clinical characteristics and diagnostic methods are presented. The hospital mortality rate was 7.5%. At 15 years' follow-up practically all of the patients had good late results. There were no recurrent myxomas. Rare left ventricular myxomas and multiple calcified right atrial and ventricular myxomas involving a tricuspid valve are also presented.
