“…Clinical presentations and signs are comparable to those arising in other cardiovascular and systemic conditions, and include variable cardiac murmur, atrial fibrillation, uneasiness, fatigability, dyspnea, atypical chest pain, dizziness, blackout, systemic and pulmonary embolism, heart failure, and sudden death [1,35,44,53,54,70].…”

“…Multiple pulmonary embolisms can be seen in the cases of friable polypoid myxomas, which may lead to severe pulmonary arterial hypertension and occasionally also to aneurysms of the pulmonary arteries. [67] Although they were not demonstrated in our patient, a syndromic relationship (e.g., Carney's complex) and family history should be sought in young adult patients with an uncommon location.

Myxomas are the most common primary cardiac tumors in adults and mainly originate in the left atrium with a slight female predominance. Only 3%–4% of myxomas are detected in the right ventricle. Although these tumors are histologically benign, they can lead to several catastrophic complications such as embolization or obstruction of blood flow at the mitral or tricuspid valve orifices. We report a rare case of right ventricular myxoma presented with near-syncope attacks and worsening dyspnea.

“…The literature reports patients who were symptomatic for syncopes and dyspnoea [1,2] or embolic manifestations that usually involved the lungs [6,7]. In the case of friable polypoid myxomas there may also be multiple pulmonary embolism [8], frequently mistaken for a septic embolus, which can lead to severe pulmonary hypertension and sometimes also to aneurisms of the pulmonary arteries [9]. Lastly, in the case of a right-to-left shunt at an atrial level, paradoxical embolism of the brain and kidneys and aortic bifurcation may occur [10].…”

Tricuspid valve myxoma in a patient with congestive heart failure

Myxomas are the most frequent benign primary cardiac tumours (50% of benign heart tumours). This kind of tumour is most likely to be localized in the left atrium, followed by the right atrium, right ventricle and left ventricle. Quite exceptional is the presence of a myxoma originating from the tricuspid valve or from the Eustachian valve. We describe the case of a woman with moderate dyspnoea of unknown origin and the presence of tricuspid myxoma who underwent tricuspid valve curettage.
