Abstract
A life-threatening left ventricular outflow tract obstruction developed in a 26-year-old man because of a very uncommon myxoma emerging from the ventricular side of the mitral valve. Immediate surgical treatment was indicated because of high-risk factors reported herein. After transaortic resection of a single myxoma, the progress of this patient has been excellent, especially as a familial myxoma could be excluded.
