Abstract:
Right ventricular (RV) myxomas account for < 5% of cardiac myxomas and are often asymptomatic, easily overlooked. We report a 13-year-old female with a giant RV myxoma (70 × 35 × 49 mm) extending to the main pulmonary trunk, detected via routine adolescent health screening. Multimodal imaging (TTE, CT, MRI) facilitated diagnosis, and complete surgical resection was performed. Postoperative histopathology confirmed the diagnosis, with favorable short-term outcomes. This case highlights that proactive TTE-based screening, multimodal imaging evaluation, and early surgical intervention are crucial for improving the prognosis of patients with right ventricular myxoma.
