This case report illustrates adiagnosis of rare atrial myxoma through its characteristic signs, symptoms, most common site of occurrenceand histopathological examination assisted by radiological examination.The diagnosis is made by classical clinical presentation, histopathological examination along with 2Dechocardiography to rule out the malignant activity. The clinical signs and symptoms vary with the locationand size of tumour, which usually present as pulpy non-specific mass.The histopathological study corresponded with classical pattern. Since the tumour may present as anemergency in the form of symptoms mimicking sudden cardiac death and other complications likeembolization, prompt resection of tumour is the mainstay treatment associated with low mortality.
