Abstract
Epithelial differentiation in cardiac myxoma is a rare phenomenon. Out of 104 surgically excised specimens, we studied 3 cases of cardiac myxoma with glandular differentiation. All the cases had well formed glands in addition to the myxoma cells lying in a myxoid background. Detailed histochemical and immunohistochemical studies suggest that the epithelial islands in cardiac myxoma show an enteric phenotype.
