Abstract:

Myxoma is the most common type of cardiac tumor that occurs primarily in the left atrium. Clinical symptoms depend on size and location, it can be revealed by complications such as embolic accidents, heart failure and pulmonary hypertension. Transthoracic echocardiography is the mainstay of diagnosis. Surgical removal of the tumor allow an excellent long-term prognosis. we report a case of a giant left atrial myxoma in a 54-year- old woman that caused mitral valve obstruction and pulmonary hypertension.
