Abstract:
:We describe a rare case of a sporadiac form of multiple myxoma and highlight the unusual combination of left atrial and right ventricular tumors. Transoesophageal echocardiography proved superior to precordial imaging in detecting all four masses (two in left atrium and two in right ventricle).
