Myxomas are the most common benign primary cardiac tumors. |
Clinical presentation can vary from an incidental finding to symptoms caused by cardiac obstruction, embolization, and constitutional upset. |
We observed a case of troponin-positive chest pain in a patient with a large left atrial myxoma due to coronary artery embolization, a rare but recognized complication. |
Urgent surgical resection is indicated to prevent embolic complications and sudden death. |
