Abstract
Cardiac myxoma (CM) is a rare cardiac disease, accounts for
approximately 70% of the adult cardiac tumors, with the majority
located in the left atrium and less commonly in the right atrium. Rarely
myxomas may be present in right ventricular, biatrial, left ventricular,
right ventricular outflow tract or heart valves. Our study described
clinical and echocardiographic characteristics of 5 patients with
echocardiographic diagnosis of rare CMs, among them pulmonary valve (PV)
myxoma was never been reported before. Therefore, cardiac tumors
developed in unusual locations should be considered to exclude the
possibility of myxoma.
