Left ventricular myxomas are rare but can be successfully identified by echocardiography and surgically removed even in asymptomatic patients.
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.
