Abstract
- Myxoma is the most common primary tumor of the heart. The common symptoms of myxoma can be similar to those of infective endocarditis, which include fever, weight loss, fatigue and arthralgia, but it is very rare for a myxoma to become infected. We report on a case of a 76-year-old male patient with fever and loss of consciousness, and he underwent an emergency operation after suffering shock state due to the infected myxoma.
