Cardiac tumors present a relatively uncommon clinical issue among cardiovascular pathology in part due to their asymptomatic clinical course in the majority of cases. Based on their characteristics, they are divided into two main groups – primary and secondary or metastatic, and in comparison, the latter affect cardiac structures up to 30 times more often. Primary tumors are benign in more than 75% of the cases, and myxoma is by far the most commonly observed. There have been 13,000 cardiac surgeries performed in the National Heart Hospital (NHH) during the period between 2000-2020, and only 0.48% of them are due to primary cardiac tumors with prevalence of cardiac myxoma. Accentuating on the latter as the main focus of the current article the unusual case of a 71-year-old patient with concomitant acute ST-elevation myocardial infraction (STEMI) and peripheral embolization is depicted here in detail.
