Description
Summary:The symptoms and syndromology of myxomas with clinical features of a rare comorbidity - lung tuberculosis and left atrial myxoma in a 69-old year woman, are described in the article. The description includes the clinical history, transesophageal echocardiography findings, pathomorphological characteristics of myxoma, also photoillustrations of tumor's macro- and microstructures.

The discussion provides the information about the possible pathophysiological link between myxoma and tuberculosis and the role of interleukin6 inthis process.
