Key result
Tricuspid valve myxoma was identified in a 23-year-old woman, highlighting an extremely rare right ventricular lesion with only three previously reported cases.
Highlights an extremely rare presentation of a myxoma originating from the tricuspid valve.
Consider myxoma in atypical right heart masses in young adults; extends the three prior reports on tricuspid valve origin.
Myxomas of the intraventricular cavity are extremely rare, and those of right ventricular origin are the least frequent. Only three cases of myxoma of the tricuspid valve have so far been reported. In this communication a myxoma of the tricuspid valve in a 23-year-old woman is reported because of its unusual and interesting clinical presentation and the extreme rarity of this lesion.
