Glandular component is a very rare finding in myxomas which are one of the most common primary benign cardiac tumors. This rate was found ranging 1% to 5% in various series.

Glandüler komponent, primer benign kardiak tümörlerin en yaygınlarından biri olan miksomalarda oldukça nadirdir. Değişik serilerde oran %1-5 arasında bulunmuştur. Orta yaşlı kadınlarda sık görülmektedir. Glandüler kompenentli miksomaların histogenezi açık değildir. Glandüler komponentli miksomalar rekürrens ve maliniteye dönüşüm gösterebilmeleri nedeniyle yakından takip ve kontrol edilmelidirler. Biz bu yazıda 38 yaşında kadın olgu sol atriumda yerleşmiş glandüler komponentli miksoma vakasını sunduk.
