ABSTRACT

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.
