description Cardiac myxomas are the most frequently encountered tumors of the heart. However, they are unusual to be newly diagnosed in the geriatric population. Myxomas are among the great mimickers, with a myriad of clinical presentations related to heart failure, embolic events, and constitutional symptoms. We describe a rare case of a giant atrial myxoma in a nonagenarian presenting with heart failure, which was medically managed.
