Primary cardiac tumor presenting as obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract.
A transthoracic echocardiogram revealed 3 tumors in the left atrium of a 64-year-old woman, who died suddenly 8 months after resection of the tumors. Primary cardiac tumors are unusual and a case of postoperative left ventricular metastases of the atrial tumors resulting in left ventricular outflow tract obstruction is very rare occurrence.
