RESUMO
We describe the case of a patient diagnosed of pulmonary embolism, in whom transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated a large mass. It was completely removed and histologic examination showed a very calcification myxoma. This case is of interest because localization and extension of myxoma, the atypical histologic appearance, and in fact the diagnosis and treatment prevented new pulmonary embolism that could be lethal.
