Key result
Surgical removal successfully treats a rare left ventricular septal myxoma in an asymptomatic man.
Why the study?
Left ventricular myxomas are rare.
Case Report (n=1)
No
Left ventricular myxomas are rare but can be successfully identified by echocardiography and surgically removed even in asymptomatic patients.

Supports echocardiographic detection of rare left ventricular myxomas; leaves open optimal management for asymptomatic cases.
Left ventricular (LV) myxomas are rare. We present a case of a LV myxoma arising from the interventricular septum in a 70-year-old asymptomatique man. General examination of the patient did not reveal any abnormality. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a round pedunculated mass (size, 20mm x 13mm) at the interventricular septum with a broad pedicle. The mass was successfully removed and was pathologically confirmed to be a myxoma.

Ajaja et al. (2020) conducted a case report in Left ventricular myxoma (n=1). Surgical removal was evaluated on Successful removal and pathological confirmation. Surgical removal of a rare left ventricular myxoma arising from the interventricular septum in a 70-year-old asymptomatic man was successful and pathologically confirmed.
