Right ventricular myxoma originating from a papillary muscle: a case report

Abstract

Very few cases of ventricular myxoma originate from a papillary muscle. Patients with a cardiac myxoma and a history of colorectal carcinoma are also rare. Here, we present a case of an extremely large right ventricular myxoma that originated from the posteromedial papillary muscle in a patient with a history of colorectal carcinoma.

Keywords: cardiac metastasis; echocardiography; myxoma.
