Cardiac myxoma represents the most frequent cardiac tumor with a relatively low overall incidence. Clinical symptoms are hetereogeneous and therefore nonspecific. With regard to high success of the surgical treatment, early diagnosis is crucial. We present a case of cardiac myxoma in a pregnant woman, which was succesfully sugically removed.
