ABSTRACT
Mixomas are low-incidence primary cardiac tumors,
which produce varied clinical manifestations
depending on their location, characteristics and
degree of hemodynamic compromise. The case of
a 70-year-old patient is presented, with progressive
dyspnea, systolic murmur and palpitations, with a
chest radiograph without pathological findings, in
which an echocardiogram is performed and shows
the presence of a mass in the left atrium. The
patient is taken to surgical resection without
any complications. The patological analysis
shows a mixoma. Despite being rare tumors,
mixomas are part of the differential diagnoses of
intracardiac masses and the most frequent within
its classification. Its incidence is greater between
the third and sixth decade of life and in most cases
they are located in the left atrium. Its management
is the surgical approach and the diagnosis is
accurate with its histopathological study.
