ABSTRACT

Cardiac neoplasms are rare, with myxoma being the most common benign tumor. Its most frequent location is in the left atrium. Typical clinical presentation is between the third and sixth decades of life, being more frequent in females. We report here the case of a 17-year-old patient diagnosed with thrombophilia secondary to protein S deficiency and acute lymphoblastic leukemia in remission. The patient developed data of acute heart failure, with a diagnosis suggestive by imaging of an intracardiac tumor in the left ventricle, causing left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. The tumor was successfully removed surgically.
