Myxomas of the intraventricular cavity are extremely rare, and those of right ventricular origin are the least frequent. Only three cases of myxoma of the tricuspid valve have so far been reported. In this communication a myxoma of the tricuspid valve in a 23‐year‐old woman is reported because of its unusual and interesting clinical presentation and the extreme rarity of this lesion.
