Fig. 1A 66-year-old asymptomatic man with history of bladder cancer and
incidentally discovered cardiac mass. (See also Figure S1, cine loops, in
supplemental data online.) Four-chamber b-SSFP (balanced steady-state free
precession) (bright blood) image shows pedunculated right atrial mass.
Fig. 1B 66-year-old asymptomatic man with history of bladder cancer and
incidentally discovered cardiac mass. (See also Figure S1, cine loops, in
supplemental data online.) T1-weighted (B) and T2-weighted (C)
black blood images show mass to be homogeneous and intermediate in signal
intensity.
Fig. 1C 66-year-old asymptomatic man with history of bladder cancer and
incidentally discovered cardiac mass. (See also Figure S1, cine loops, in
supplemental data online.) T1-weighted (B) and T2-weighted (C)
black blood images show mass to be homogeneous and intermediate in signal
intensity.
Fig. 1D 66-year-old asymptomatic man with history of bladder cancer and
incidentally discovered cardiac mass. (See also Figure S1, cine loops, in
supplemental data online.) T1-weighted fat-suppressed image shows lack of
signal suppression in mass.
Fig. 1E 66-year-old asymptomatic man with history of bladder cancer and
incidentally discovered cardiac mass. (See also Figure S1, cine loops, in
supplemental data online.) Contrast-enhanced first-pass perfusion images in
right (E) and left (F) sides of heart show no enhancement of
mass.
Fig. 1F 66-year-old asymptomatic man with history of bladder cancer and
incidentally discovered cardiac mass. (See also Figure S1, cine loops, in
supplemental data online.) Contrast-enhanced first-pass perfusion images in
right (E) and left (F) sides of heart show no enhancement of
mass.
Fig. 1G 66-year-old asymptomatic man with history of bladder cancer and
incidentally discovered cardiac mass. (See also Figure S1, cine loops, in
supplemental data online.) On T1-weighted delayed contrast-enhanced image,
mass does not exhibit enhancement.
Fig. 2 Photomicrograph of resected myxoma specimen shows predominantly
uniform population of stellate cells with minimal cytologic atypia in a myxoid
background. Scattered hemosiderin-laden macrophages are present. (Courtesy of
