Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Myxomas are the most common primary benign heart tumors, typically found in the left atrium, with only 2-4% occurring in the right ventricle. Clinical presentations vary widely, including congestive heart failure and systemic embolic phenomena. This case report describes a rare right ventricular myxoma causing both inflow and outflow obstruction, presenting as progressive exertional dyspnea.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 23-year-old male presented with two weeks of worsening exertional dyspnea. He was stable but tachypneic with a systolic murmur over the tricuspid area. Elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-Reactive protein (CRP) were noted, while other lab tests were normal. Imaging, including echocardiography and chest tomography scan (CT) revealed a 4 × 3.8 × 4.6 cm mass in the right ventricle extending to the pulmonary trunk. Surgical resection via right ventriculotomy was performed, and histopathology confirmed myxoma. The patient recovered uneventfully.
CONCLUSION: Right ventricular myxomas, though rare, can cause significant obstruction and present with diverse symptoms. Timely diagnosis using imaging techniques like echocardiography is crucial. Surgical resection remains the definitive treatment, offering excellent outcomes and low recurrence rates. Early intervention is vital to prevent serious complications and ensure favorable patient prognosis.
