Abstract
The myxomas are considered to be rare benign intracardiac tumors.In this study we present our surgical treatment strategy in a case with giant left atrial myxoma and acute pancreatitis. Our patient underwent excision of myxoma using cardiopulmonary bypass. Early and late results of surgery were acceptable for the patients with benign tumors.
