English abstract
A 29-year-old woman (gravida 3, para 2) presented at 28 weeks+2 days of gestation with
a two-months history of dyspnea associated with orthopnea and occasional palpitations.
On transthoracic echocardiography, she was diagnosed with a 3.2 × 2.7 cm left atrial
myxoma. The patient underwent open surgical resection at 30 weeks of gestation. She
had an uneventful postoperative recovery and was discharged on the ninth day. At 41
weeks of gestation, she gave birth by cesarean to a healthy baby of normal weight. Both
the mother and the baby were discharged in stable condition.
