Cardiac myxoma is a rare benign tumor, of which left atrial location is the most common. Its treatment is always surgical and long-term evolution is characterized by the risk of recurrence. Biannual follow-up by echocardiography in the long-term is mandatory to detect early recurrence and avoid complications. This follow-up is continued even after the cure of such recurrence because further instances are possible. The management of these recurrences is based on an iterative surgery. Minimally invasive surgery by thoracoscopy has recently been introduced with good early results. In this work, we report the case of recurrent left atrial myxoma in a 19-year adolescent, asymptomatic patient, occurring 5 years after the first excision and review of the literature.
