title: Left Ventricular Myxoma Leading to Stroke: A Rare Case Report.
abstract: Primary cardiac tumors are rare, and most are myxomas. Only approximately 5% of cardiac myxomas originate from the ventricles.We report the case of a 23-year-old man presenting with right hemiplegia and muscle strength degeneration under a diagnosis of stroke. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a 29 × 26 mm mass arising from the anterior interventricular septum. The tumor was surgically removed, and histology confirmed the diagnosis of left ventricular myxoma.We report its clinical features and treatment to add to the current knowledge.
