Myxoma is the most common primary cardiac tumor in adults, but remains rare. Most myxomas are located in the left atrium. The clinical expressions are non-specific and very variable. The treatment is essential from the diagnosis given its severe complications, in particular embolic. We present a case of a 48-year-old male patient who presented with two masses in left atrium and left ventricle compatible with a myxoma. The patient underwent complete resection of all the two tumors without incident and the post-operative course was uneventful.
Keywords: Cardiac tumor, Complications, Myxomas
