Abstract :
Myxomas arising from the pulmonary valve and pulmonary artery are very rare. The mechanisms of these myxomas remain unknown; however, it is supposed that they arise in situ or from a dislodgement of myxomas from remote sites (1). Eck reported the first case of pulmonary valve myxoma in a premature neonate in 1935 (2). Later in 1955, Blodorn (2) reported an autopsied case of myxomas involving both the pulmonary valve and pulmonary artery (2). Until present, only two decades of such cases have been reported worldwide. The myxoma could be found at any age, from neonate to very aged patients, with a slight male predominance
