RESUMO
Atrial myxoma is the most frequent tumor of the heart, though right-side locations and initial clinical manifestation in the form of hemoptysis are infrequent. We describe the case of a young woman with right atrial myxoma diagnosed by transthoracic echocardiography and presenting hemoptysis as the most important manifestation. The symptomatology disappeared after surgical removal of the lesion.
