A rare case of left ventricular cardiac myxoma with obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract and atypical involvement of the mitral valve

Abstract

Cardiac myxomas originating from the left ventricular free wall are extremely rare. A 32-year-old Swiss male was found to have a 5 x 3 x 3 cm myxoma originating from the left ventricular free wall using transthoracic echocardiography. The tumour was successfully treated by surgical excision but the mitral valve could not be preserved because of an untypical interference of the myxoma with the subvalvular apparatus.
