CTICasesLeft ventricular outflow tract myxoma in Carney complex
Cite this case
[...]. Left ventricular outflow tract myxoma in Carney complex. CTICases. Published November 1, 2018. https://cticases.com/c/emwex
Imaging findings
Echocardiography and cardiac MRI demonstrate a mobile, enhancing, T2-hyperintense mass located within the left ventricular outflow tract, in a patient with a history of recurrent cardiac myxomas.
Key takeaways
While the vast majority of cardiac myxomas occur in the left atrium, atypical locations (such as the left ventricular outflow tract) and multi-centricity or recurrence should prompt evaluation for Carney complex, an autosomal dominant neuroendocrine syndrome.
