A case of myxoma attached to both interatrial septum and anterior mital leaflet / 대한내과학회지

ABSTRACT

Myxoma is the most common primary cardiac tumor. It usually develops on the interatrial septum, and occurs in the left atrium in more than 75% of cases. Myxoma in the ventricle is much less common and accunts for only 5% of cases. A myxoma arising from mitral valve is exceedingly rare and is normally located on the atrial side of valve, with an eqivalent distribution between the anterior and posterior leaflets. We report a case of myxoma that arose from both the interatrial septum and anterior mital leaflet, which has not been previously reported in the literature.
