Why the study?
Multiple intracardiac myxomas and valvular myxomas are exceedingly rare, requiring evaluation of the role of multiple imaging investigations in diagnostic workups and management.

Multimodality imaging is crucial for the accurate diagnosis and management of exceedingly rare multiple valvular myxomas.

May support multimodality imaging for rare valvular myxomas; leaves open need for prospective data on management.
Primary cardiac myxomas occur frequently in the left atrium, but they can be found in any cardiac chamber. Most tumors are solitary, and multiple intracardiac myxomas account for less than 5% of all cases of myxoma. Moreover, valvular myxomas are exceedingly rarer. Therefore, we report unusual myxomas with an unique anatomical location, which emphasizes the value of multiple imaging investigations in the diagnostic workups and subsequent management.
