AGUIRRE, HERNÁN DARÍO; POSADA-LOPEZ, ANDRÉS FELIPE; FAJARDO, LAURA CAMILA e CASTRILLON-VELILLA, DIANA MARCELA. Atrial myxoma: more than a beningn neoplasm. CES Med. [online]. 2015, vol.29, n.2, pp.305-312. ISSN 0120-8705.
Cardiac tumors are part of the differential diagnosis in the study of intra-cardiac masses along with vegetations, thrombi, valvular calcifications among others. Their localization, size and mobility can lead to major anatomical and functional implications determining the clinical presentation. We describe the case of a 51 year-old female, who presented with complains suggestive of an acute coronary syndrome, in which an echocardiographic showed it a pulmonary embolism caused by a right atrial myxoma with histopathological verification was made.
