Myxoma of the mitral valve.

F A Sandrasagra, W A Oliver, T A English
PMCID: PMC482138  PMID: 486284

Abstract

A case of myxoma of the mitral valve is reported. The clinical features were indistinguishable from left atrial myxoma with prolapse through the mitral valve. Because of the known tendency for these tumours to recur it was treated by wide excision which necessitated replacement of the mitral valve.
