Abstract:
A 66-year-old man who had an episode of cerebral infarction was found to have a mobile mass in the heart by echocardiography. The mass was located in the left ventricular outflow tract and a diagnosis of cardiac myxoma which had caused the cerebral embolism was made. Operation was performed under extracorporeal circulation and the mass originating from the left ventricular septum and obstructing the left ventricular outflow was removed through aortotomy. The histological diagnosis was cardiac myxoma. This rare case of cardiac myxoma was reported with a review of the literature.
