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
