Tricuspid valve myxoma: An uncommon presentation of a common tumour.

Amongst the benign cardiac tumours, atrial myxomas are the commonest. Tricuspid valve attachment is an uncommon site for cardiac myxoma. Here we present the case of an 18-year-old girl who presented with a history of shortness of breath, abdominal distension, leg swelling, palpitations and dizziness for the past two months. On echocardiography, there was a large pedunculated mass attached to the tricuspid valve. She underwent surgical excision of the mass and biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of myxoma. In conclusion, myxoma originating from tricuspid valve is a rare tumour, which can cause tricuspid valve obstruction and right heart failure symptoms due to their location. In these cases, shortness of breath, embolisation and symptoms of venous congestion are commonly observed.
