Coexistence of Right Ventricular Myxoma and Atrioventricular Septal Defect

World J Pediatr Congenit Heart Surg. 2018 Jan;9(1):95-97. doi: 10.1177/2150135117731726.

Abstract

Although a small number of atrial myxomas are found in association with congenital cardiac defects, ventricular myxomas coexisting with congenital cardiac anomalies are extremely rare. We report a case of right ventricular (RV) myxoma coexistent with atrioventricular septal defect in an adolescent. Echocardiography showed an RV mass, a small ostium primum atrial septal defect, and a cleft of the left atrioventricular valve. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a mass, suggesting a myxoma. The mass was excised simultaneously with repair of the anomalies and was histologically confirmed as a myxoma.

Keywords: atrioventricular septal defect; cardiac tumors; congenital heart disease; magnetic resonance imaging.
