Mitral valve annular dilatation caused by left atrial myxoma.

We report a case of mitral valve annular dilatation caused by a large left atrial myxoma. A 69-year-old woman presented in pulmonary oedema. She was found to have a large left atrial myxoma prolapsing into the left ventricle in diastole causing severe functional mitral stenosis.

Aortic valve lipoma.

Cardiac lipoma (especially on the aortic valve) is extremely rare. We report a patient suffering from shortness of breath, chest pain, and recent presyncopal episodes who was found to have a mass on the aortic valve with mild aortic regurgitation. The patient had an uneventful aortic valve replacement.
