The antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) occurs most commonly in the systemic lupus erythematosus but it can be also found in other conditions. The coexistence of CM and APS is rarely described in the literature. We report an unusual case of the left atrial myxoma and concomitant APS in a female patient who presented with right-sided hemiplegia. Although rare, we must think about the CM in patients with a newly diagnosed APS and left atrial mass. Nevertheless, we must make a distinction from other possible cardiac structures, especially atrial thrombus. Transthoracic echocardiography is the most frequently used initial imaging modality to detect CM. The aim of this case report was to emphasize that additional imaging modalities and multidisciplinary approach are mandatory in making a proper diagnosis and to choose a further treatment strategy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0041-1740103","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,11]],"date-time":"2021-12-11T23:32:40Z","timestamp":1639265560000},"page":"269-272","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Left Atrial Myxoma and Antiphospholipid Syndrome\u2014A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Mijo","family":"Meter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, University Hospital Centre Split, Split, Croatia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Diana","family":"Meter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology, University Hospital Centre Split, Split, Croatia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Toni","family":"Ceprnja","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Forensic Medicine and Cytology, University Hospital Centre Split, Split, Croatia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dijana","family":"Perkovic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology, University Hospital Centre Split, Split, Croatia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,11]]},"reference":[{"issue":"05","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1061","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jtcvs.2007.10.048","article-title":"Analysis of benign ventricular tumors: long-term outcome after resection","volume":"135","author":"A W ElBardissi","year":"2008","journal-title":"J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg"},{"issue":"10","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"957","DOI":"10.1016\/S0025-6196(12)60926-4","article-title":"Pathology of surgically excised primary cardiac tumors","volume":"67","author":"H D Tazelaar","year":"1992","journal-title":"Mayo Clin Proc"},{"issue":"03","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"159","DOI":"10.1097\/00005792-200105000-00002","article-title":"Clinical presentation of left atrial cardiac myxoma.
