Myxomas are the most common primary tumor affecting the heart. Infection of these tumors is rare and sometimes its clinical presentation is indistinguishable from an uninfected myxoma. The case of a 49-year-old female patient with a persistent fever of probable bacterial origin, which leads to antibiotic treatment, is reported. It was decided to perform a transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography to reach a diagnosis. Surgery was performed, the tumor was resected (the result of the biopsy showed it was an atrial myxoma) and the subsequent clinical course was uneventful. |
