AbstractMyxomas are the most common primary cardiac tumors. They may simulate infective endocarditis but are rarely infected. Currently, 17 infected left atrial myxomas have been reported in the literature [1, 7, 8, 10, 11]. We present a patient with infected left atrial myxoma combined with mitral valve endocarditis, treated by excision of the myxoma and mitral valve reconstruction.
