RIGHT VENTRICULAR MYXOMA IN AN ASYMPTOMATIC PATIENT.

Myxomas are the most common cardiac tumors; however right ventricular myxomas are very rare. We present the case of an asymptomatic 74 year old female with a right ventricular myxoma originating from the interventricular septum diagnosed during a routine echocardiographic examination. Initially the patient refused surgery due to being asymptomatic, but agreed to be operated two months later.

Quadricuspid Aortic Valve with Mild Stenosis and Servere Insufficiency.

The quadricuspid aortic valve is a very rare congenital malformation and usually presents with aortic insufficiency. Other associated congenital malformations have been described and particularly coronary anomalies have to be considered and investigated. We report the case of an intraoperatively diagnosed quadricuspid aortic valve in a 70 years old patient and discuss the clinical relevance of this rare congenital malformation.

Uncommon Multicystic Lesion of the Interventricular Septum in a 7-Year-Old Boy: Unusual Presentation of an Intracardiac Teratoma.

Intracardiac teratomas are very rare primary cardiac tumors; only a few cases have been reported. We present the case of a 7-year-old boy who early in life showed pulmonary stenosis and needed percutaneous and surgical procedures, including sectioning of the right ventricular bands and reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract. At the age of 7 years the patient received a diagnosis of a multilobular cystic mass in the right ventricle adherent to the interventricular septum, which was not present at birth.
