Cardiac tumour presenting as fever of unknown origin

Cardiac myxoma is the most common primary tumour of the heart. We present a case of a 46-year-old man with a 3-month history of progressive fatigue, exertional dyspnoea, fever, and elevated inflammatory markers. Echocardiography revealed left atrial tumour. The patient underwent successful surgical resection of the tumour; the histological study of the mass confirmed the diagnosis of myxoma.
