Abstract

Myxoma is a primary intracavitary benign tumor of the heart, which may not have clinical manifestations in its small sizes. However, when the tumor grows or is at the site that disturbs the normal function of the heart, there may be serious complications and even sudden death. The literature describes single cases of detection of cardiac myxomas in pregnant women. The paper considers a case of pregnancy and labor in a 37-year-old woman with left atrial myxoma.
