Deskripsi

Myxomas are the most common primary cardiac tumors, usually arising in the left atrium. Large myxomas usually produce mitral valve obstruction and stenosis such as manifestations. We present a rare case where a large left atrial myxoma caused a significant mitral regurgitation due to mechanical damage to the leaflets necessitating mitral valve replacement along with tumor resection.
