Sažetak

Primary cardiac neoplasms are very rare, and the most of those in adults are myxomas. We are reporting an interesting case of extensively calcified left atrial myxoma presenting by paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and angina pectoris like symptoms, mimicking coronary heart disease. The tumor was surgically removed and histological analysis confirmed pendicular myxoma with diffuse areas of calcifications, various in shape and size. Coronary heart disease was excluded by an invasive angiography. After the tumor removal atrial fibrillation disappeared, as well as other symptoms.
