Key result
Echocardiography successfully identified a rare case of concurrent left atrial and left ventricular myxoma, which was confirmed by pathology and treated surgically.
Why the study?
LV myxoma is rare, easily misdiagnosed, and echocardiographic features of concurrent left atrial and left ventricular myxoma have rarely been reported.
Population
A 56-year-old male with chest tightness and asthma

Echocardiography may detect rare concurrent myxomas; extends sparse case literature but leaves diagnostic algorithms unchanged.
Case Report (n=1)
Echocardiography is an effective imaging modality for diagnosing rare concurrent left atrial and left ventricular myxomas.
Ji et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Left atrial myxoma with left ventricular myxoma (n=1). Echocardiography was evaluated on Diagnosis of left atrial and left ventricular myxoma. Echocardiography successfully identified a rare case of concurrent left atrial and left ventricular myxoma, which was confirmed by pathology and treated surgically.
