Popis: The presentation of myxoma in the neonatal period is quite rare. We report the case of a female patient in whom two cardiac tumors were diagnosed prenatally. Surgery was performed at eight days of age, using cardiopulmonary bypass and circulatory arrest to facilitate excision of two polypoid tumors from within the right atrium. Pathology studies were consistent with myxoma. The postoperative course was satisfactory and the patient was discharged 14 days after surgery, at 22 days old.
