title: Intramural cardiac myxoma in left ventricular wall: an unusual location.
abstract: A 27-year-old asymptomatic woman was investigated for an abnormal finding in the cardiac contour on routine chest radiography. Echocardiography revealed a heterogeneous mass in the anterolateral left ventricular wall. Excision of the tumor disclosed an absence of communication between the residual cavity and the left ventricular endocardium. Histological features of the tumor indicated an intramural myxoma.
