ABSTRACT

Cardiac tumors are strange and they represent 0.003% of the necropsies, 75% of primary tumors are benign, being the myxoma the most frequent, the rest of them are malign tumors. Secondary tumors are 20-40 times more frequent than primary tumors. The present case presentation is about a 66 year-old male patient, with medical record of alcoholism and being a heavy smoker, who was admitted previously on March, 2017 with a diagnosis of subclavian vein thrombosis and chronic antrum gastritis. The patient was readmitted at the hospital because he was suffering from epigastrium pain non-related with food ingestion and unspecific manifestations. He was diagnosed acute gastritis and a constitutional syndrome and in spite of the treatment he continues with severe epigastrium pain, tachycardia and electric changes. In the implementation of a casual echocardiogram it is visualized an endomiocardic mass. The patient didn´t develop well and died quickly. The case was concluded through a anatomo-pathological study.
