Right Ventricular Myxoma.

We report a case of 30 year female who presented with complaints of intermittent chest pain and breathlessness for 8 months, Diagnosed to have right ventricular mass protruding into main pulmonary artery during each systole. The mass was completely excised. Histopathological examination showed myxoma.

Right ventricular myxoma causing right ventricular outflow tract obstruction.

Cardiac myxomas are the most common neoplasms of the heart. They can be located in any chamber of the heart but frequently in the left atrium. In this report we present a patient who had been treated for a right ventricular myxoma originating from the interventricular septum and leading to right ventricular outflow tract obstruction.

A12-year-old previously healthy girl developed syncope when walking at school. When she was seen in the emergency department, her heart rate was 115 bpm, the precordial impulse was active, and a thrill was palpated. Third and fourth heart sounds were heard. A grade 4/6 systolic ejection murmur was heard at the left upper sternal border. The chest x-ray demonstrated a mildly enlarged, globular h...

MYXOMA of the heart is found in 0.02 to 0.1 per cent of autopsies, more frequently in the left than in the right atrium.1-3 Myxoma originating in the ventricles is extremely rare: six cases of left ventricular4-7 and three of right ventricular origin8-'0 are recorded in the literature. In addition, two fibromas of the right and three thrombotic pseudotumors of the left ventricle have been descr...
