title: Tricuspid valve myxoma in a pediatric patient: 10-year follow-up after resection.
abstract: Cardiac myxomas are rarely encountered in pediatric patients. Tricuspid valve involvement in these cases is even more exceptional. We report the case of a 5-year-old girl operated on successfully 10 years ago for a tricuspid valve myxoma who continues to be asymptomatic and had an event free outcome.
