ABSTRACT: True,
cardiac myxoma is a benign tumor. On the other hand, it is serious by its
complications, in particular embolic. The diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome
in connection with a myxoma of the left atrium is retained before the
association of an emboligenic intracardiac myxoma and an acute coronary
syndrome in the absence of atherosclerotic lesions and the absence of
intracardiac thrombus. We report a case of left atrium myxoma complicated by acute
coronary syndrome in a 50-year-old patient operated on in our department and we
will review the literature.
