Abstract

Myxoma is a primary cardiac tumor of low prevalence in the population, with a predilection for the left atrium followed by the right atrium. The location in the ventricles is infrequent and the symptoms depends of the place of origin. Its associated complications and its particular form of debut can be avoided with timely surgical resection.We present the case of a 15-year-old symptomatic woman with a mass in the left ventricle. The mass was surgically resected, and the histopathological study confirmed a myxoma.
