Infected cardiac myxoma is a rare phenomenon. Cardiac myxomas are primary tumors of the heart, usually benign and account for about 50% of the benign cardiac tumors. Patients usually present with a triad of constitutional, embolic, and obstructive symptoms. There are few reported cases of infected cardiac myxoma and there is no widely used definition. This is a case presentation describing a patient who was admitted to our institution, underwent surgical excision, and was subsequently discharged home.
