Abstract
Cardiac neoplasms are infrequent, myxomas being the most common benign heart tumours. The diagnosis can be suggested by the symptoms, though it is usual to encounter a normal physical examination. It is diagnosed with transthoracic echocardiogram, computerised axial tomography and magnetic resonance. Treatment is surgical, being safe, effective and considered curative in most resections, with a survival rate after 5 years of 83%.
