Cardiac myxomas in the right ventricle are a very rare condition. In this case report, we describe an exceptionally uncommon case involving a right ventricular cardiac myxoma, originating from a papillary muscle, extending to both the tricuspid valve and the right atrium. The valve was able to be repaired via artificial chorda implantation.
