A case of left atrial myxoma with systemic AL-amyloidosis is described. Localized myxomas have the peculiar property of giving rise to constitutional symptoms, indicating a systemic disease process. The coexistence of AL-amyloidosis and an atrial myxoma in the same patient makes it tempting to suggest that an immunological defect is involved in the development of both diseases. |
