Background:
Cardiac myxoma is the most common primary benign cardiac tumor, with 95% occurring in the atria and only about 3% in the ventricles. Left ventricular (LV) myxomas are even rarer. These tumors can lead to adverse consequences, such as heart failure, arrhythmias, and even sudden death. Surgical resection is the preferred treatment, and complete resection is necessary to prevent late recurrence.
Case Presentation:
We present the case of a 63-year-old female patient who was diagnosed with a LV myxoma by multimodal imaging and successfully underwent thoracoscopically assisted surgical resection with a good prognosis.
Conclusions:
This case discusses the clinical characteristics, as well as key points in the diagnosis and treatment, through the case of a patient with LV myxoma.
