Surgical excision treats rare LVOT myxomas presenting with palpitations and weight loss.
Reports a rare case of left ventricular outflow tract myxoma successfully treated with surgical excision.
LVOT myxoma merits inclusion in palpitations differentials; extends sparse Level 5 reports on surgical excision but leaves optimal follow-up open.
Among all myxomas, left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) myxomas are very rare. This article reports an LVOT myxoma in a 67-year-old woman presenting with palpitations and weight loss. Surgical excision of the LVOT myxoma was performed.
