Among the large number of benign tumors of the heart myxoma most frequently diagnosed neoplasm intracavitary (occurs in 50%). The clinical picture of a myxoma is extremely various. Often it is diagnosed as a casual find. Usually the diagnosis is established according to an echocardiography.

We present clinical follow-up 58 years old patients with left atrial myxoma, which before surgical treatment has executed a heart MRI.
