Abstract

We report for the first time upon a case of myxoma that involved both atrial and ventricular sides of the anterior mitral valve leaflet. Electron beam tomography (EBT) showed that the tumor was attached to both the atrial and ventricular sides of the mitral valve, while echocardiography did not. EBT also diagnosed dynamic obstruction of left ventricular outflow tract caused by the tumor.
