Abstract :
Primary cardiac tumors are rare and approximately half of them are atrial myxomas. They rarely remain asymptomatic, especially
if large. The imaging of a myxoma by contrast dye during coronary angiography is an infrequent sign, which clarifies the vascular
supply of the tumor. We report herein an interesting and rare case of a left atrial myxoma hypervascularized from the right coronary
artery.
