Abstract

The authors report two cases of anterior mitral valve myxoma. This is an exceedingly rare localisation and these cases add to the other 8 previously reported cases. Intracardiac tumours and valvular endocarditis may be detected non-invasively by echocardiography but the precise diagnosis may be extremely difficult: mitral valve myxoma is an exceptionally rare condition. Treatment was surgical in both reported cases.
