    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Cardiac Surgery
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Cardiac myxomas are rare primary tumors of the heart, most commonly found in the left atrium.
    • Right ventricular myxomas are exceptionally rare and can present with diverse clinical manifestations.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with symptoms suggestive of pulmonary embolism and significant tricuspid valve obstruction.
    • Diagnostic imaging confirmed the presence of a myxoma originating in the right ventricle.

    Findings:

    • The right ventricular myxoma was successfully resected through a right atriotomy approach, addressing the tricuspid valve obstruction.
    • Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of cardiac myxoma.

    Implications:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • This case highlights the importance of considering cardiac tumors in the differential diagnosis of pulmonary embolism and right heart obstruction.
    • Surgical excision via a standard right atriotomy is a viable and effective treatment for right ventricular myxomas.
    • Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for favorable patient outcomes in cases of cardiac myxoma.
