Abstract

Myxomas are common cardiac tumors, which are usually managed by complete excision. We report a case of myxomas at different stages of development found simultaneously in the left atrium and both ventricles. The patient underwent successful surgical excision of all myxomas and there has been no clinical or echocardiographic evidence of recurrence or valvular insufficiency in 6 months of follow-up.
