[Left Ventricular Mixoma: A case report].

Area of Science:

• Cardiology
• Oncology
• Pathology

Background:

• Myxoma is a rare primary cardiac tumor with a low prevalence.
• It most commonly affects the left atrium, followed by the right atrium.
• Ventricular myxomas are infrequent but can cause significant symptoms.

Observation:

• A 15-year-old female presented with symptoms related to a cardiac mass.
• Diagnostic imaging revealed a mass within the left ventricle.
• The patient underwent surgical resection of the mass.

Findings:

• Histopathological examination confirmed the cardiac mass as a myxoma.
• This confirms a rare case of myxoma located in the left ventricle.

Implications:

• Timely surgical resection is crucial for managing cardiac myxomas.
• Early intervention can prevent serious complications associated with cardiac tumors.
• This case highlights the importance of considering myxoma in young patients with cardiac masses, even in rare locations.
