Echocardiography
January 2025
Echocardiography Department, National Institute of Cardiology Ignacio Chávez, México City, México.
We present a case of a 72-year-old female patient with dyspnea and lipothymia. Echocardiography demonstrates an intracavitary cystic mass that fills almost all left atria causing supravalvular obstruction. The magnetic resonance image revealed a 53 × 47 × 48 mm heterogeneous mass with regular edges, tissue characterization suggested myxoma.

Background: Cardiac myxoma rarely occurs in the right ventricle, and as is a benign disease, it rarely shows high positivity on 18F fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT).
Case Presentation: We present herein the case of a 77-year-old woman who was found to have a heart murmur during a routine health checkup. Further examination revealed a 27-mm tumor in the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) and moderate aortic valve stenosis.
Background: Primary cardiac tumors (PCT), such as myxoma, are rare and predominantly benign. Angiofibroma tumors are an extremely rare subtype of PCT, reported in less than ten cases. In this study, we presented a mixed tumor of myxoma and angiofibroma for the first time in the human heart.
