Abstract
Tumoration in Anterior Leaflet of the Mitral Valve.
Highlights
This is the case of a 47-year-old male who developed mild dyspnea on great exertion
The movement of the tumor contributed to a dynamic increase in the left ventricular outflow gradient, estimated at 33 mmHg
The transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) performed 14 days later showed prolapse of the anterior mitral valve leaflet, which presents a movable filamentary mass, measuring 13 mm by 3 mm, located at its end on the ventricular surface, and which protruded during systole via the left ventricular outlet, causing dynamic obstruction with peak systolic gradient of 59 mmHg
