case_images: Transthoracic echocardiography confirmed a floppy and highly mobile pedunculated mass in LV and mildly decreased ventricle contractility (Fig. 1A) without significant LV Outflow Tract obstruction. After operation, there was no significant residual mass (Figs. 1B and 2B).
case_images: (A) Cardiac tumor before and (B) after operation from cardiac magnetic resonance image (apical 4 chamber view).

case_images: Magnetic resonance image also confirmed a mass measuring 3.8 cmx2.8 cm in the LV which was suspicious benign cardiac tumor such as myxoma (Fig. 2A). After operation, there was no significant residual mass (Figs. 1B and 2B).
case_images: (A) Pathologic findings. Gross image, (B) microscopic image. Histologically, cardiac myxomas are arranged in cords or in nest, surrounded by abundant myxoid stroma (x400). Upon examining the tissue within the yellow circle, a diagnosis of cardiac myxoma can be confidently established.

case_images: We performed excision of cardia tumor and pathologic finding was confirmed myxoma which has some hemosiderin laden macrophages and a few atypical cells within myxoid stroma (Fig. 3).
