J Cardiol Cases. 2020 Jun 15;22(3):128-131. doi: 10.1016/j.jccase.2020.05.007. eCollection 2020 Sep.

Abstract

Cardiac myxoma is an intracavitory neoplasm, constituting approximately half of all the primary adult cardiac neoplasms. These are commonly seen in the atria; however, uncommon location and atypical characteristics warrant multimodality imaging with paramount role of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. We report a case of right ventricular outflow tract myxoma in a 40-year-old male with atypical imaging characteristics. <Learning objective: This case is presented for its rarity in location and atypical imaging characteristics, which was well demonstrated by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging aiding the referring surgeon in the operative procedure.>.

Keywords: Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging; Echocardiography; Myxoma; Right ventricular outflow tract.
