Key result
Surgical excision successfully treated a rare left ventricular free wall myxoma, though the mitral valve could not be preserved due to subvalvular interference.
Population
1 patient (32-year-old Swiss male) with a 5 x 3 x 3 cm myxoma originating from the left ventricular free wall

Requires caution in mitral valve preservation for LV myxomas; leaves open optimal approaches for rare tumors.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights a rare case of left ventricular free wall myxoma requiring surgical excision and mitral valve replacement due to subvalvular involvement.
Robert et al. (2009) conducted a case report in Left ventricular cardiac myxoma (n=1). Surgical excision was evaluated on Tumour excision and mitral valve preservation. Surgical excision successfully treated a rare left ventricular free wall myxoma, though the mitral valve could not be preserved due to subvalvular interference.
