Abstract
Four cases of left atrial myxoma were diagnosed pre-operatively by echocardiography. All cases showed characteristic echocardiographic features of variegated shadows behind the mitral valve in diastole and within the left atrium in systole. In two cases the myxomas were surgically removed and confirmed on histology. In one case the post-operative echocardiogram showed complete disappearance of the abnormal shadows. Echocardiography is the most reliable method today for the diagnosis of a myxoma.
