Abstract
Cardiac tumors are divided into metastatic and primary origin. Primary cardiac tumors have a very low incidence (0.001-0.03%), of which only 25% are malignant and very aggressive. We present a clinical case of a 60-year-old female patient with dyspnea, palpitations and dizziness. Transthoracic echocardiogram showed a heterogeneous mass in the left atrium, so it was decided to resect it. The patient had a torpid postoperative course and dies 48 hours later.
