Myxoma is the most common benign cardiac tumor. Absent pulmonary valves, often treated surgically in childhood, are associated with 3-6% of tetralogy of Fallot. It is unusual for absent pulmonary valves without other congenital heart diseases to be asymptomatic until adulthood. Here, we report the unique case of an 80-year-old female with right ventricular outflow tract myxoma and absent pulmonary valve that has, to our knowledge, never been reported. We successfully performed a simple mass resection and pulmonary valve implantation.
