Background: Cardiac myxoma is the most common primary cardiac tumor. Approximately 75- 80% of myxomas are located in the left atrium. Occurrence of multiple myxomas is extremely rare.
Case presentation: We describe a rare case of biventricular myxomas resulting in right ventricular inflow and tricuspid valve obstruction. The lesions were detected by echocardiography and thoracic computerized tomography ( CT) and confirmed on positron emission tomography-computed tomography.
Conclusion: The patient underwent successful surgical resection of the multiple cardiac myxomas. This kind of biventricular case has not been previously reported. The patient is asymptomatic as of the 10-month follow-up.
