%X recurrence of cardiac myxoma after excision is uncommon. the complete excision of the base of the tumor from the heart wall prevents its recurrence. in cases without wide resections , the probability of tumor recurrence rises. the authors report the case of a 26 year old male patient with recurrent left atrium myxoma presenting on two occasions. the patient was admitted with a left atrium tumor. echocardiogram disclosed a tumor in interatrial septum. the patient is a jehova's witness and did not receive whole blood or any blood products during the hospital stay. at operation a gelatinous mass fixed on interatrial septum was found. a wide resection was done, including the septal insertion of the tumor. pathological examination revealed it to be a cardiac myxoma.
