description Cardiac myxomas are the most common primary intracardiac tumors, accounting for 50% of all cardiac neoplasms, with an estimated frequency of 0.5/million/inhabitants/year. Presenting symptoms are related to cerebral or peripheral embolism, and/or intracardiac obstruction. Thus, urgent management of myxoma is mandatory due to embolism’s risk. Herein, we report the case of an 82-year-old woman with a myxoma of the left atrium, revealed by a multiple ischemic strokes, to raise awareness of this entity.
