    AbstractA case of cardiac myxoma arising from the mitral valve is reported. A 50-year-old woman presented with history of shortness of breath and angina. Two-dimensional echocardiography showed a left atrial mass. At surgery, the tumor was found to be arising from the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve. The tumor was excised and a defect in the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve was repaired by direct suture.
