Abstract

Cardiac tumors are infrequent, primary tumors, such as atrial myxoma, are estimated at 000017 to 0.13% of all cardiac neoplasms, postmortem records, n relation to its frequency, it is more than the other primary ones, in 67% the left atrial myxoma, 23% in the right atrium and less frequent the biaurals left. age group from 30 to 60 years, more in the female sex, in the childhood is more related to alterations in skin lentiginosis, nevi as Carney.autosomica dominant síndrome. In genetic studies, alterations in the PRKAR1A gene on chromosome 17 are found. We present the case of a patient with a request for pre-surgical evaluation, urological prolapse of the bladder, with systemic manifestations, weight loss, chronic anemic syndrome treated with vitamins and trace elements, by a private physician, without remission. It is worth mentioning that the physical and cardiovascular examination revealed semiotic onygomatic seizures of Duroziez in the mitral area, with auscultatory changes in the left lateral decubitus position, for which reason I propose the diagnosis of mitral valvular heart disease vs atrial myxoma, with 2 elements of clinical judgment of the classic triad of myxoma, in the performance of the transcutaneous echocardiogram, a cardiac mass was observed, at the level of the left atrium, spherical, of 5.5 cmt diameter, hyperechogenic. Great mobility in cycles cardiac, prolapse of the mitral valve in diastole with stenosis, the emergency consultation was made to cardiovascular surgery in a hospital of greater complexity, a procedure with complete excision of the tumor of approx 12 cmt by 5.5 cmt diameter, with satisfactory evolution of the patient
