“…Exertional chest pain, dyspnoea, nausea, and vomiting, are some other symptoms 2,3 . Sometimes, the patient can be asymptomatic as well and it's just an incidental finding 11,12 . In our review of cases, 18.8% of cases were discovered incidentally.…”

“…2,3 Sometimes, the patient can be asymptomatic as well and it's just an incidental finding. 11,12 In our review of cases, 18.8% of cases were discovered incidentally. The uncommon presentation of cardiac myxomas, such as acute MI, fever of unknown origin, dysphagia sometimes leads to misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis and ultimately poor prognosis.…”

Cardiac myxoma is the most common primary cardiac tumour. 1 Cardiac myxomas mostly arise from the mitral valve (75%) and those originating from the aortic valve accounts for ~3% of the cardiac myxomas. [2][3][4] Most of the cardiac tumours are a result of metastasis and they are 30 times more frequent than primary tumours-like aortic valve myxoma. 5 Up to 20% of the myxomas are asymptomatic and 90% of them are located in the left atrium. 6 10% of the cases are associated with Carney syndrome-an autosomal dominant disorder associated with pigmentation of the skin, the tendency to be affected by mucocutaneous myxomas, acromegaly, and the Cushing syndrome. 6,7 To have a better understanding of clinical course and outcomes associated with this infrequent condition, we have performed a systematic review of published cases.

“…Carney Complex(CNC) associated myxomas can be found in any region and system (cardiac, cutaneous, osseous, genitalia), and may manifest at a tender age [3]. While, their counter-parts, are often confined to cardiac chambers [4, 5](LA-75%, RA-18%, L/R-V-6%, valves< 1%).In addition, non-syndromic CM’s are usually asymptomatic and their discovery often incidental [6, 7], with symptoms commonly manifesting from the 5th decade of life. Aortic valve myxoma is a rare finding, and a symptomatic manifestation in a teen, as is our case is extremely unusual.…”

Background Cardiac myxoma, a common benign primary tumor of the heart can be categorized into syndromic (Carney Complex) and non-syndromic(isolated). Carney Complex associated myxomas can be found in any region and system (cardiac, cutaneous, osseous, genitalia), and may manifest at a tender age. On the contrary, non-syndromic cardiac myxomas are usually confined to the chambers, and symptoms often present from 5th decade of life. Aortic valve myxoma is a very unusual occurrence, and presentation in a teen is extremely rare. Case report We share a case of aortic valve myxoma, uncovered using echocardiography in a 16-year-old male, admitted with complaints of exertional chest pain, dyspnoea and systolic murmur. Patient underwent uneventful surgery for tumor excision, and discharged 6-days post operation. Conclusion Given the high risk of developing cardiogenic stroke, infective endocarditis, degenerative effects on aortic valve leaflets and possible sudden death, like many other centers, we advocate for immediate liquidation of aortic myxoma regardless of age and symptoms.
