The most common yet rare benign cardiac neoplasms are myxomas. They usually arise from the left atrium next to the fossa ovalis of the intra –atrial septum. The treatment is generally a surgical resection due to an increased risk of embolic and cardiac complications. However, the prognosis following surgery is excellent if diagnosed early. We present a very rare case of a right ventricular outflow tract myxoma discovered in a 30 years old patient presented with dyspnea. Our patient underwent an echocardiographic evaluation and we found a myxoma located in the right ventricular outflow tract that was excised. This location is extremely rare and presents unusual diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Although recurrence is rare, it is important to continue a follow-up for patients with a history of a cardiac myxoma.
