Abstract :
A left atrial mass in a 2.7-year-old girl who presented with congestive heart failure, which surgical pathology revealed to be a myxoma, is reported. The timely precise diagnosis obtained by means of two-dimensional echocardiography allowed the immediate surgical treatment of this rare, benign but potentially lethal cardiac tumor in infancy.
