Abstract
A 76-year-old patient was operated on for an asymptomatic primary tumor of the heart located in the right atrium. The tumor was detected during a preanesthetic check-up for a transurethral resection of a prostate adenoma, showing a 3/6 systolic murmur. The mass was resected. The postoperative course was uneventful but the histologic result was surprising: varix of the heart.
