Brain metastases in a patient with antecedent of cardiac myxoma: a case report and review of literature

Introduction. Cardiac myxomas are the most common benign neoplasms of the heart, mainly located in the left atrium. The preferred treatment is the resection of the myxoma. This method not only prevents complications but also has a low recurrence rate. Brain metastases usually occur when tumor fragme...

description Introduction. Cardiac myxomas are the most common benign neoplasms of the heart, mainly located in the left atrium. The preferred treatment is the resection of the myxoma. This method not only prevents complications but also has a low recurrence rate. Brain metastases usually occur when tumor fragments embolize and implant at the destination place. Case presentation. We report the case of a patient with multiple brain metastases, found during follow-up, after the presentation of stroke. This case stands out because the embolization causing the brain metastasis might have occurred either during the ischemic stroke or when the cardiac myxoma was being removed. In our case, the patient was evaluated during follow-up with brain magnetic resonance imaging, finding multiple metastatic lesions. To determine the type of lesion, a biopsy was performed and the histological diagnosis, which was indicative of metastatic tissue of left atrial myxoma. Conclusion. Patients with cardioembolism should undergo a complete diagnostic protocol to distinguish the cause of embolization, whether it is a blood clot or a tumor embolus. The treatment of choice is the resection of the myxoma, which cures the primary neurological symptoms and prevents neurological complications. However, it is essential to maintain active surveillance for a longer time for the detection and appropriate treatment of brain metastases.

Los mixomas cardíacos son las neoplasias benignas más comunes del corazón, principalmente ubicadas en el atrio izquierdo. El tratamiento preferido es la resección del mixoma. Este método no solo previene complicaciones, sino que también tiene una baja tasa de recurrencia. Las metástasis cerebrales suelen ocurrir cuando fragmentos tumorales embolizan e implantan en el lugar de destino. Presentación del caso. Informamos el caso de un paciente con múltiples metástasis cerebrales, encontradas durante el seguimiento, después de presentar un accidente cerebrovascular. Este caso destaca porque la embolización causante de la metástasis cerebral podría haber ocurrido tanto durante el accidente cerebrovascular isquémico como durante la remoción del mixoma cardíaco. En nuestro caso, el paciente fue evaluado durante el seguimiento con resonancia magnética cerebral, encontrando múltiples lesiones metastásicas. Para determinar el tipo de lesión, se realizó una biopsia y el diagnóstico histológico indicativo de tejido metastásico de mixoma atrial izquierdo. Conclusión. Los pacientes con cardioembolismo deben someterse a un protocolo diagnóstico completo para distinguir la causa de la embolia, ya sea un coágulo sanguíneo o un émbolo tumoral. El tratamiento de elección es la resección del mixoma, que cura los síntomas neurológicos primarios y previene complicaciones neurológicas. Sin embargo, es esencial mantener una vigilancia activa por más tiempo para la detección y tratamiento adecuado de metástasis cerebrales. Introdução. Mixomas cardíacos são as neoplasias benignas mais comuns do coração, principalmente localizadas no átrio esquerdo. O tratamento preferido é a ressecção do mixoma. Este método não apenas previne complicações, mas também tem baixa taxa de recorrência. Metástases cerebrais geralmente ocorrem quando fragmentos tumorais embolizam e se implantam no local de destino. Apresentação do caso. Relatamos o caso de um paciente com múltiplas metástases cerebrais, encontradas durante o acompanhamento, após apresentar um derrame. Este caso se destaca porque a embolização causando a metástase cerebral pode ter ocorrido tanto durante o derrame isquêmico quanto durante a remoção do mixoma cardíaco. Em nosso caso, o paciente foi avaliado durante o acompanhamento com ressonância magnética cerebral, encontrando múltiplas lesões metastáticas. Para determinar o tipo de lesão, foi realizada uma biópsia e o diagnóstico histológico indicativo de tecido metastático de mixoma atrial esquerdo. Conclusão. Pacientes com cardioembolismo devem passar por um protocolo diagnóstico completo para distinguir a causa da embolia, seja um coágulo sanguíneo ou um êmbolo tumoral. O tratamento de escolha é a ressecção do mixoma, que cura os sintomas neurológicos primários e previne complicações neurológicas. No entanto, é essencial manter uma vigilância ativa por mais tempo para a detecção e tratamento adequado de metástases cerebrais. Universidad Nacional Córdoba. Facultad de Ciencias Médicas.
