LV myxoma in young adult with chest pain supports inclusion in differential; leaves open optimal management and recurrence data.
Case Report (n=1)
This case highlights that although extremely rare, left ventricular myxoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of unexplained chest pain and can be effectively managed with prompt surgical excision.
Asad et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Left Ventricular Myxoma (n=1). Surgical excision via median sternotomy was evaluated on Resolution of symptoms and tumor recurrence. Surgical excision of a rare left ventricular myxoma in a 25-year-old male resulted in complete resolution of symptoms with no recurrence at six months follow-up.
