Abstract

A unique case of right atrial myxoma originating from the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve is described. The tumor was detected by echocardiography and resected along with part of the septal leaflet, followed by primary repair.

Massive Right Atrial Myxoma Causing Right Ventricular Inflow Obstruction: An Unusual Presentation of Myxoma

“…Diagnosis of the tumor is usually not made until the patients develop significant symptoms. Atrial myxomas are typically solitary pedunculated tumors that arise from fossa ovalis 4 . Surgical excision of cardiac myxomas must be done as soon as possible after the diagnosis is established because of the high risk of valvular obstruction, recurrent pulmonary, and systemic embolization 5 .…”

Tricuspid Valve Myxoma: A Case Report and a Collective Review of the Literature

“…Later on, sporadic cases were instantly reported. Careful retrieval by the end of February 2008 had rendered a collection of 50 reported cases of tricuspid valve myxoma by 45 reports in world literature 1‐4,6‐46 . Of them, 34 (75.6%) articles were in English and 11 (24.4%) in non‐English with or without an English abstract.…”
