“…They represent 50% to 75% of all primary cardiac tumors [3][4][5] . Approximately 90% of these benign tumors occur in the left atrium, from 5% to 20% in the right atrium, and from 2% to 5% in the right and left ventricles 1,3,[5][6][7] . Biatrial tumors are found in less than 2.5% of all cases 7 .…”

“…The best diagnostic method for locating and assessing the extension of myxomas and for detecting their recurrences continues to be echocardiography, which has a sensitivity of up to 100% 7,8 . However, transthoracic echocardiography may not identify tumors smaller than 5mm in diameter; whenever a very small tumor is suspected, transesophageal echocardiography is required 5,9 . In selected cases, other examinations, such as computed tomography and nuclear magnetic resonance, may be necessary.…”

“…1 The polypoidal type is associated with a higher incidence of embolism because of its obvious fragility, 7,8 and tumor size also appears to be a major risk factor. 9,10 The present patient did not have evidence of pulmonary embolism in the pre-operative examinations, although the RV myxoma was big and polypoid. Catastrophic embolic complications are known to occur during induction of anesthesia and sternotomy; 4 one report describes a fragment of the myxoma embolizing at some stage prior to the application of the aortic crossclamp.…”

“…However, myxomas of the heart valve diagnosed during life are rare since the first report in 1979. [7][8][9] The maximum dimension of mitral valve myxomas reported range from 0.5 to 3.5 cm. The myxoma of this patient was a large mass (5 × 4 × 3 cm) arising from the atrial side of the anterior mitral leaflet, which disturbed the hemodynam- ics as mitral stenosis induced lung congestion and pulmonary artery pressure elevation.…”

Cardiac Myxoma Originating from the Anterior Mitral Leaflet

SUMMARYCardiac myxoma arising from the anterior mitral leaflet is extremely rare. A 47-yearold Taiwanese male was found to have a 5 × 4 × 3 cm myxoma originating from the atrial side of the anterior mitral leaflet using transesophageal echocardiography. The tumor was successfully treated by surgical excision. The resected tumor was a well-defined encapsulated mass with a broad-base stalk arising from the anterior mitral leaflet. To detect the early recurrence, a semiannual follow-up examination using transesophageal echocardiography is needed. (Jpn Heart J 2003; 44: 429-434) Key words: Cardiac tumor, Mitral valve, Transesophageal echocardiography PRIMARY cardiac tumors are uncommon and their autopsy incidence has been calculated to be between 0.0017% and 0.33%. About 50% of these tumors are myxoma which usually arise from the interatrial septum. 1) We report here an extremely rare case of myxoma originating from the anterior mitral leaflet, which was diagnosed and located using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). CASE REPORTA 47-year-old male Taiwanese patient was referred to our hospital for the evaluation of intermittent attacks of shortness of breath and palpitations. These symptoms had appeared 1 year previously and were not associated with physical activity, while the severity and frequency of these symptoms worsened in the previous 3 months.His height was 170 cm, body weight 68 kg, blood pressure 114/80 mmHg, pulse rate 90 beats per minute without deficit, respiratory rate 22 per minute, and body temperature 36.2°C. Auscultation revealed a pan-systolic murmur (II/VI) at the apex, a rumble murmur in diastolic phase, and moist rales heard in the inspiraFrom the
