A 74-year-old woman with a history of essential thrombocythemia was admitted to the Coronary Care Unit because of atypical chest pain. The transthoracic echocardiogram showed normal left ventricular (LV) diameter and preserved regional and global systolic function. A pedunculated mobile mass measuring 25 mm × 14 mm was visualized in the LV cavity, attached to the midanterior wall. Because of the typical echocardiographic appearance, a myxoma was suspected. The patient evolved with left hemiparesis and negative T-waves in the electrocardiogram. Left ventriculotomy with excision of the ventricular mass was performed. Histopathological examination revealed an organized thrombus.

D009232 Myxoma A benign neoplasm derived from connective tissue, consisting chiefly of polyhedral and stellate cells that are loosely embedded in a soft mucoid matrix, thereby resembling primitive mesenchymal tissue. It occurs frequently intramuscularly where it may be mistaken for a sarcoma. It appears also in the jaws and the skin. (From Stedman, 25th ed) Angiomyxoma,Angiomyxomas,Myxomas
