“…Two-thirds of the mitral myxomas are solitary and one-third is multiple ( 32 ). Tricuspid valve myxomas have a lower incidence, and even sporadic cases have been instantly reported ( 33 ). Aortic valve myxomas are even rarer ( 34 ).…”

A cardiac myxoma may manifest as miscellaneous and uncharacteristic presentations. These unusual aspects of cardiac myxomas can be rare clinical presentations, special patient populations, unusual locations, and special pathology, which may lead to a delayed diagnosis, improper checkups, and subsequent untimely treatment, eventually resulting in unexpected poor prognosis. Therefore, the diagnosis of cardiac myxomas can be challenging because of these unusual aspects. In order to get a better understanding of a cardiac myxoma and to facilitate an early diagnosis and proper treatment, the unusual aspects of cardiac myxomas are described here.

“…Myxomas have been reported to arise from the mitral valve apparatus [15], tricuspid valve, pulmonary artery and vein, and vena cava [16–18]. In a review of 49 patients with cardiac myxoma, 6.1% arose from the mitral valve [19].…”

OBJECTIVE The objectives of this article are to discuss key radiologic features that differentiate primary and secondary cardiac masses. Clinical scenarios are included to highlight stepwise radiologic workup of tumors of the pericardium, epicardium, myocardium, valves, and chambers. The involvement of key cardiac anatomic structures will also be emphasized to determine resectability and guide surgical planning. CONCLUSION Multimodality imaging plays a pivotal role in diagnosis and surgical planning of cardiac masses. Clinical features, such as patient age, location, and imaging characteristics of the mass will determine the likely differential diagnosis. In addition to radiologic evaluation of the mass itself, involvement of valvular apparatus, extent of myocardial involvement, or presence of associated coronary artery involvement is necessary to determine resectability and surgical technique.

“…In a collective review, only 51 cases of myxoma originating from the TV were reported by 2008. Most tumors that originated from the TV required TV repair or replacement and myxoma resection (replacement, 22%; repair, 56.1%; tumor resection only, 22%) [2,3]. The tumor size varies from 1 to 15 cm in diameter.…”

Background Cardiac myxoma is the most common benign cardiac tumor. Its tremendous size and fragile character severely bother the surgeons. Several minimal invasive approaches had been applied for radical tumor excision. The wound was forcibly enlarged for en-bloc specimen removal and prevention of debris sputtering. Case presentation We reported a case of huge tricuspid valve (TV) myxoma managed by robot-assisted endoscopic tumor resection and TV repair, with initial presentation of worsening shortness of breath for two months. The tumor was downsized with a morcellator and removed through a keyhole wound (1.1 cm in diameter). The patient recovered uneventfully and was discharged after four days. Conclusions With the first morcellator application, this might be the smallest surgical wound reported after the removal of a huge cardiac myxoma. The ICU and hospital stays were shortened. This might be effectively applied to further minimally invasive surgeries for cardiac tumor excision.
