Abstract

We describe an atypical myxoma in the right ventricular outflow tract of a 12-year old girl. After identification using echocardiography, we assessed its precise location and attachments by magnetic resonance imaging. Subsequent to surgical removal, histology confirmed the myxomatous nature of the tumour.
