Mural papilloma of the left ventricle and floppy mitral valve: report of an unusual association.
A 49-year-old man, with the diagnosis of floppy mitral valve and fibromyxomatous papilloma of the left ventricular outflow tract, underwent prosthetic valve replacement and excision of the tumor with good results. Although a left ventricular angiogram failed to visualize it, the intracardiac mass was diagnosed by two-dimensional echocardiography.
