Clinical characteristics, management, and outcomes of pulmonary valve myxoma: systematic review of published case reports.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiac myxoma is the most common type of primary cardiac tumor, with the majority located in the atrial wall. The tumor is attached to valvular structures in a few cases, of which the pulmonary valve is the least affected. Pulmonary valve myxoma may have different clinical manifestations from the more common cardiac myxomas because of its vital position. A misdiagnosis of these types of cardiac myxoma may be detrimental to the care and well-being of patients. Therefore, this systematic review aims to define the clinical characteristics of pulmonary valve myxoma and how this differs from a more common cardiac myxoma.
