Case in brief
A 13-year-old female presented with a giant right ventricular myxoma, measuring 70 × 35 × 49 mm, discovered during routine health screening. The tumor extended to the main pulmonary trunk and was diagnosed using multimodal imaging techniques including TTE, CT, and MRI. Following complete surgical resection, histopathology confirmed the diagnosis, and the patient experienced favorable short-term outcomes.
Diagnostic / clinical pearl
Clinicians should consider the possibility of asymptomatic right ventricular myxomas in adolescents, as they can be detected incidentally during routine screenings.
Why it matters
This case underscores the importance of multimodal imaging and early surgical intervention in managing right ventricular myxomas to improve patient outcomes.
