description The right ventricle is an uncommon location for cardiac myxoma. Its most common complications are pulmonary embolism and obstruction due to pulmonary valve tumor. We report the case of a 11-year old child with repetitive syncopes admitted to Cardiology ward. Echocardiography showed a right ventricular myxoma of 2cm obstructing the pulmonary orifice. Emergency surgical excision was performed under cardiopulmonary bypasss with favorable postoperative course. Anatomo-pathological examination of the surgical specimen confirmed the diagnosis of myxoma. At 18 months follow-up, there was no evidence of tumor recurrence.
