Images of contrast-enhanced computed tomographic scan performed at the referring hospital and an image of the tumor in the left ventricle by transthoracic echocardiography. (A) A suprarenal abdominal aortic embolism measuring 16.4 × 9.4 mm is detected (arrow). (B) An abnormal shadow defect is identified in the left ventricle (arrow). (C) Transthoracic echocardiography shows a solid left ventricle tumor on the ventricular septum in four-chamber view (arrow). The tumor has no stalk. No obstruction of the mitral valve or the outflow tract of the left ventricle is detected. The tumor measures 16.2 × 10.6 mm. (Ao = aorta; IVC = inferior vena cava; LA = left atrium; LV = left ventricle; RA = right atrium; RK = right kidney; RV = right ventricle.)

Pathologic findings. (A) Gross features of the excised left ventricular myxoma. It is a gelatinous, sessile, and ovoid with a gently lobulated surface and measures 25 × 15 × 8 mm. (B) High-power microscopic appearance (×40) with hematoxylin and eosin staining. Stellate or spindle cells are seen surrounded by myxoid stroma. Mitosis, pleomorphism, and necrosis are absent. (HE = hematoxylin and eosin.)
