    Author: Kahlbau H, Carvalho R, Marques Gomes V, Pinheiro Santos J, Fragata J.

    Abstract:
    Myxomas are the most common cardiac tumors; however right ventricular myxomas are very rare. We present the case of an asymptomatic 74 year old female with a right ventricular myxoma originating from the interventricular septum diagnosed during a routine echocardiographic examination. Initially the patient refused surgery due to being asymptomatic, but agreed to be operated two months later. Surgical removal was uneventful, as was the postoperative course. Histopathological analysis confirmed the suspected diagnosis of cardiac myxoma.
