Primary cardiac tumors (PCT) are rare, accounting for 0.0017-0.03% in autopsy series, [1,2] in contrast to metastatic tumors of the heart, which are 30 times more frequent.

The aim of this case presentation is to remind the importance of the early diagnosis by not skipping even the mild symptoms.

Abstract
Primary cardiac tumors (PCT) are rare, accounting for 0.0017-0.03% in autopsy series, [1,2] in contrast to metastatic tumors of the heart, which are 30 times more frequent. We report the case of a female patient with atrial myxoma presented in the emergency room with stroke. The aim of this case presentation is to remind the importance of the early diagnosis by not skipping even the mild symptoms.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
