Left ventricular myxoma: case report
Abstract
Left ventricular (LV) myxomas are rare. We present a case of a LV myxoma arising from the interventricular septum in a 70-year-old asymptomatique man. General examination of the patient did not reveal any abnormality. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a round pedunculated mass (size, 20mm x 13mm) at the interventricular septum with a broad pedicle. The mass was successfully removed and was pathologically confirmed to be a myxoma.
