Left Ventricular Myxoma in a Young Adult: An Unusual Presentation of a Rare Cardiac Tumor

Cardiac myxomas are rare primary tumors, generally benign, and predominantly located in the atria, especially the left. Their clinical presentation is variable, and they can manifest with embolic events, intracardiac obstruction, or as an incidental finding. We present a case of a 25-year-old patient with fatigue and atypical chest pain, in whom transthoracic echocardiography revealed a pedunculated, irregular-bordered, highly mobile intracavitary mass in the left ventricle, attached to the interventricular septum. Given the unusual location and the potential risk of complications, complete surgical resection was performed, with no adverse postoperative events. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of cardiac myxoma. This case highlights an uncommon presentation of this entity, underscoring the importance of considering cardiac tumors in the differential diagnosis of ventricular masses and the fundamental role of echocardiography in their timely detection and therapeutic planning.
