Abstract
|
|
|
Primary tumors of the heart are rare, three quarter of the tumors are benign, and
nearly half of the benign heart tumors are myxomas. Cardiac myxoma usually originate
in the left atrium about 75 percent, however, only 3 to 4 percent of myxoma are
detected in the left ventricle. We report on a 32 years old woman with left ventricular
myxoma who presented with shortness of breath, chest tightness, and general weakness.
Acute pulmonary embolism and left ventricular myxoma were found on a perfusion lung
scan and echocadiogram. A mass located on septal wall of left ventricle was excised in
bloc. The patient recovered uneventfully and careful follow up has be performed
periodically.
