World J Clin Cases. 2021 Jul 16;9(20):5535-5539. doi: 10.12998/wjcc.v9.i20.5535. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Primary cardiac tumors are uncommon, of which cardiac myxoma accounts for 50%-80%. Left ventricular myxoma has been rarely reported, accounting for only 3%-4% of all cardiac myxomas. Multiple left ventricular myxomas are, relatively, even rarer. CASE SUMMARY: In this report, we present a case of multiple left ventricular myxomas combined with severe rheumatic valve lesions. Symptomatically, the patient presented with fatigue, shortness of breath, and palpitation after activities. The patient underwent complete surgical resection of multiple left ventricular myxomas combined with mechanical replacement of the mitral and aortic valves, tricuspid valvuloplasty. The patient recovered well after the operation, with no obvious related complications. CONCLUSION: Multiple left ventricular myxomas may coexist with severe rheumatic v alve disease. Operation is an effective treatment. PMID:34307606 | PMC:PMC8281407 | DOI:10.12998/wjcc.v9.i20.5535 View on the web Inoreader. Take back control of your news feed. Follow us on Twitter and Facebook.
