This is a 21 year old male, with the few symptoms which simulating an hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in contrast to the large size of the tumour. It is possible that myxomas are responsible for sudden death. Therefore, in presence of new cardiac signs kind and relevance, the possibility of a myxoma should be considered. The diagnosis can be easily ruled out (or confirmed) by echocardiography, which represents a valuable tool in the diagnosis of myxomas.
