Cardiac myxoma and WPW should be managed independently in children; leaves open any potential association for further study.
A 12-year-old boy is presented with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome associated with a mass in the left ventricle. Histological examination of the surgically removed tumor revealed the diagnosis of myxoma. A relationship between cardiac myxoma and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome seems unlikely.
