Cardiac tumors are divided into metastatic and primary origin. Primary cardiac tumors have a very low incidence (0.001-0.03%), of which only 25% are malignant and very aggressive. We present a clinical case of a 60-year-old female patient with dyspnea, palpitations and dizziness. Transthoracic echocardiogram showed a heterogeneous mass in the left atrium, so it was decided to resect it. The patient had a torpid postoperative course and dies 48 hours later.

Se presenta un caso clínico de paciente femenina de 60 años con cuadro clínico de disnea, palpitaciones y mareos. El ecocardiograma transtorácico evidenció una masa heterogénea en aurícula izquierda, por lo que se decide su resección. La paciente cursa un postoperatorio tórpido y fallece a las 48 horas.
