| Cardiac myxomas are the most common benign tumors found in the heart. They usually appear in the left atrium. Those originatingfrom the left ventricle (LV) are rare. Although clinical presentation may vary, dyspnea and embolism are the most commonlyreported symptoms. In the present case study, a 27-year-old woman with a large myxoma originating from the left ventricular freewall is studied. She had atypical complaints, mainly epigastric discomfort, nausea, vomiting, and anorexia. She was hospitalized foracute abdomen, but subsequent investigations revealed a large myxoma that fully filled the LV and severely compromised the flow ofthe aortic and mitral valves. After successful emergency tumor resection, all symptoms disappeared. The uncommon presentationcaused by these tumors is discussed in this study. |
