Mitral valve myxoma

D P Murphy et al. Ann Thorac Surg. 1997 Oct.

Abstract

Cardiac myxomas arising from the mitral valve are extremely rare. We describe the case of an asymptomatic 49-year-old woman who was found to have a 3.6 x 4.0-cm myxoma originating from the atrial side of the anterior mitral leaflet. The lesion was successfully treated by surgical excision and mitral valve replacement. A review of the literature regarding this rare lesion is presented.
