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