Implication

Mitral valve myxomas may require wide excision with replacement to limit recurrence; this case leaves open standardized management for this rare entity.

Key Points

Document the clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, and surgical management of a rare primary myxoma originating on the mitral valve.
Evaluated clinical presentation mimicking left atrial myxoma prolapsing through the mitral valve in a single patient.
Performed wide surgical excision of the tumor with concurrent mitral valve replacement to reduce recurrence risk.
The clinical signs of mitral valve myxoma were indistinguishable from left atrial myxoma with ventricular prolapse.
Complete surgical eradication of the tumor necessitated total mitral valve replacement due to the aggressive margins required to prevent recurrence.

Intervention

Wide excision and replacement of the mitral valve

Mitral valve myxomas can present similarly to left atrial myxomas and may require wide excision with valve replacement to prevent recurrence.
