[Myxoma of the tricuspid valve. Apropos of a case].
The authors report the case of a chance echocardiographic finding of a tricuspid valve myxoma. Transesophageal echocardiography provided valuable complementary information concerning the precise location of the tumour. Tricuspid valve myxoma is a very rare condition: a review of the literature recensed 16 other cases. This case is of particular interest because of the associated pathological signs: erythemato-papular skin lesions which regresses after ablation of the tumour and a multinodular goitre with a cold isthmic nodule which raised the possibility of the diagnosis of Carney's complex.
