Abstract
Myxoma (benign tumor) is the most common tumor of the heart. Myxoma can occur in any chamber of the heart but most commonly arises in the left atrium. It is diagnosed using 2 Dimensional transthoracic echocardiography (2D ECHO), and most often occurs as a solitary pedunculated mass in echocardiograhy. Echocardiography gives information regarding tumor size and attachment and planning surgical excision.
