Abstract EN

Myxoma is the most common primary tumor of the heart.

The rarity of infected cardiac myxomas leads to numerous diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties.

We present a case of infected left atrial myxoma caused by methicillin-sensible Staphylococcus aureus in a 48-year-old woman complicated by systemic embolism and septic shock.
