[Right ventricular myxoma simulating pulmonary valve stenosis. A case report].
A 17 year old girl was asymptomatic until 3 months ago, when she noticed palpitations and chest pain. Physical examination revealed a systolic murmur + + +/6 in the pulmonary area. Chest X-ray showed discrete dilatation of the pulmonary trunk and the electrocardiogram a first degree heart block. The diagnosis of myxoma was established after echocardiogram and cardiac catheterization when a mobile cardiac mass was identified in the right ventricular outflow tract. The tumor was removed using extracorporeal circulation and the ventricular access through the right atrium. After a 16 month follow-up the patient is dealing a normal life and there are no signs of recurrence.
