ABSTRACT

Primary tumors of the heart are very rare. More than half of the benign tumors are myxomas. Although they can occur in any chamber of the heart, most myxomas arise from the Left Atrium. In approximately 15% of patients the tumor is located within the Right Atrium.
The case of a patient is presented with acute feverish syndrome and atrium myxoma.
